Check the area around this school
39th of 55 primary schools in Bexley we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.1/10 against 3,494 of them, against 5.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Haberdashers' Slade Green Primary
Overview
Leaders share high ambitions for pupils, placing personal development at the centre of school life to build cultural capital. The curriculum has been transformed to define content coherently, resulting in pupils who talk about their learning with confidence and achieve strong outcomes by the end of Key Stage 2.
Strengths
- Personal development is outstanding, with pupils taking on leadership roles and engaging in well-planned educational visits and enrichment activities.
- The curriculum is clearly sequenced, reducing staff workload while strengthening subject knowledge and ensuring pupils retain key information over time.
- Pupils demonstrate strong attitudes to learning, settling promptly to work and responding positively to teachers who use effective strategies like ‘brain breaks’.
- Robust systems identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) swiftly, with detailed support plans co-produced with external professionals.
- The personal, social, health and economic programme is a key strength, fostering aspiration, personal responsibility, and mutual respect for diversity.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure teachers are trained to consistently adapt teaching and use appropriate resources to help pupils with SEND and those struggling to keep up access learning and understand new ideas successfully.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
