42nd of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,869 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 6.6/10 nationally. 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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 Edgebury Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy and enjoy attending this ‘friendly’ community where leaders are visible and engaged with families. The school provides a broad curriculum with high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, resulting in strong achievement and calm, sensible behaviour.
Strengths
- Leaders have driven rapid curriculum developments, ensuring subjects are generally well planned and sequenced to build understanding over time.
- There is a ‘sharp focus on early reading’, with staff well trained in phonics and gaps in understanding quickly identified and addressed.
- Pupils with SEND receive appropriate support and resources to access the same curriculum as their peers, with personalised help carefully reviewed.
- Behaviour is ‘calm and sensible’, supported by clear expectations and positive reinforcement, allowing learning to proceed mostly uninterrupted.
- The school encourages personal development through meaningful opportunities, such as eco-council projects, extra-curricular clubs, and residential trips.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum thinking is not equally well developed across all subjects; the school must ensure all areas are designed so pupils build and retain key knowledge cumulatively and securely.
- Teachers’ checks on pupils’ understanding of subject-specific knowledge are sometimes not refined or purposeful; staff should routinely check recall and act swiftly to address misconceptions.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
