27th of 38 primary schools in Camden we can score. 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 — 8.8/10 against 899 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Fleet Primary School
Overview
Fleet Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe" and "eager to learn." Leaders provide a "broad and creative curriculum" with a strong emphasis on music, the performing arts, and personal development through visits to museums and places of worship. The school fosters a welcoming environment where staff know pupils well and maintain high expectations for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy school and are "polite and friendly," with bullying "never tolerated" and dealt with quickly when it occurs.
- The curriculum offers "high-quality opportunities" for wider personal development, including sports, arts clubs, and support for local and global charities.
- Leaders ensure "strong foundations in reading and mathematics," with a new phonics scheme and carefully selected books to support early literacy.
- Teaching in the early years is "engaging and fun," providing solid foundations for future learning in subjects like mathematics and art.
- Staff feel "well supported by leaders," who carefully consider mental health and ensure workloads are manageable.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all staff receive phonics training so the new programme is "implemented consistently well," as some staff are less secure in modelling sounds.
- Teachers need to check what pupils know and remember before introducing new content in some subjects to prevent "gaps in the key knowledge."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders working well with external agencies to support pupils and families.
