22nd of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 — 8.0/10 against 2,028 of 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Gladstone Park Primary School
Overview
Gladstone Park Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and friendly school community" where pupils are "kind, respectful and helpful." Leaders foster a "life-long love of learning" through an "ambitious and creative curriculum" that enables all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to achieve well.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a "wide range of cultural visits, performing arts clubs and sports," including enthusiastic participation in residential journeys and clubs like pottery.
- Reading is a high priority, with carefully planned activities ensuring books "accurately match their current ability" and teachers reading stories daily.
- The curriculum is "well planned and sequenced," allowing pupils to build knowledge over time in subjects such as history and mathematics.
- Staff provide strong support for pupils with SEND, making "appropriate adaptations" to ensure full inclusion in the broad curriculum.
- Leaders manage workload effectively, providing staff with "welcome advice and guidance" and maintaining strong partnerships with families.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all staff receive the training and support needed to deliver the new phonics programme confidently, as a few are less experienced.
- Leaders need to refine the "essential key vocabulary and knowledge" in each subject, as sometimes there are too many new words for pupils to remember and use in writing.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training to identify risks and working quickly with agencies to support pupils’ safety and welfare.
