Check the area around this school
35th 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 — 5.9/10 against 2,204 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 62% | 1.98 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
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 Fairholme Primary School
Overview
Fairholme Primary School is described as a place where "pupils are happy and safe" and relationships are strong, underpinned by clear values of respect and kindness. Leaders have developed an "ambitious curriculum" that logically builds knowledge, ensuring pupils are "well prepared for the next stage of their education." The school fosters a positive culture where pupils feel listened to and take on roles that build responsibility and democratic understanding.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "organised logically," with regular opportunities to revisit learning, helping pupils grasp complex ideas in subjects like mathematics and history.
- Reading is a key priority; teachers deliver phonics with "precision," and those at risk of falling behind are "identified quickly and supported to catch up."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "accurately identified and supported well," with staff making suitable adaptations to access learning.
- Behaviour is good due to "clear and consistent routines," and attendance is improving through "highly effective support" for those with persistent absence.
- Staff report being "overwhelmingly positive" about support for workload and well-being, while the governing body provides experienced oversight.
Areas to improve
- The early years curriculum lacks explicit identification of key vocabulary and concepts, meaning some children do not fully understand important ideas in readiness for Year 1.
- Oversight of the impact of interventions for pupils with SEND is "not well developed," preventing the school from clearly identifying what makes the most difference.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
