Check the area around this school
31st of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.6/10 against 3,161 of them, against 5.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Charville Academy
Overview
Charville Academy is a primary school where pupils enjoy learning and feel safe. The report describes a well-organised curriculum that prepares students for the next stages of their education, with staff maintaining high expectations for achievement. Leaders provide clear guidance to teachers, ensuring consistent teaching practices and effective support for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Leaders have designed a "well-organised curriculum" with explicit steps, ensuring teachers know exactly what to teach and how to address common misconceptions.
- The reading programme is "securely embedded," with staff trained in phonics and activities like library visits encouraging pupils to become "fluent readers."
- Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour and attitudes, motivated by a house system and opportunities to take on responsibilities such as serving on the school council.
- Staff effectively adapt teaching to ensure all pupils access the same curriculum, while leaders provide helpful guidance to those less confident in specific subjects.
- Extra-curricular clubs and educational outings enrich learning, and leaders reflect the diversity of the local community in their teaching materials.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the identification of precise content and its sequence is "in development," meaning the progression of knowledge is not yet as carefully thought through as in other areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that leaders are knowledgeable about requirements and staff receive regular training to identify and report concerns.
