5th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 9.8/10 against 2,305 of them, against 9.2/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
