Check the area around this school
16th of 45 primary schools in Hounslow we can score, 50 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 3,494 of them, against 6.8/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 62% | 3.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 38% | 3.12 |
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 Edward Pauling Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending the school, where relationships are positive and personal development is supported. However, the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership require improvement due to inconsistent curriculum delivery and low expectations for achievement. Standards in reading and mathematics are not high enough, and some pupils, including those with special educational needs, do not make sufficient progress.
Strengths
- Personal development is good, with pupils celebrating diversity and understanding British values.
- Early years provision is good, with a carefully designed curriculum and meaningful adult interactions.
- Staff and leaders are ambitious for pupils’ success and have taken action to revise the curriculum.
- Governors provide rigorous oversight and keep pupils’ best interests at the heart of their work.
- Attendance is managed effectively, with leaders ensuring pupils attend regularly and on time.
Areas to improve
- Ensure the phonics programme is delivered consistently and monitor early reading effectiveness to help pupils decode unfamiliar words.
- Provide staff support to deliver the curriculum consistently well across all subjects, ensuring pupils build strong bodies of knowledge.
- Apply the new behaviour policy consistently so that disengaged pupils are noticed and can engage with their learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
