Check the area around this school
50th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 the 3,623 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Grange Park School
Overview
Grange Park Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The report describes a school where pupils are happy, safe, and proud, benefiting from high expectations and strong relationships with staff. Leaders are passionate about providing a high-quality education, supported by a collaborative culture and engaged governors.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well across an "ambitious curriculum" and understand core values such as "kindness, empathy and equality".
- Relationships between staff and pupils are "extremely strong", with pupils trusting leaders and feeling supported.
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious", with careful sequencing and adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils learning about respect, equality, and different cultures, while developing resilience through leadership roles and sports.
- Staff morale is high due to a "collaborative culture", and leaders actively support staff well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, teachers’ subject-specific knowledge is not securely developed, hindering pupils from developing "deep and detailed knowledge".
- The curriculum sometimes fails to provide opportunities for pupils to "deepen their learning" or use existing knowledge to access more advanced content.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
