21st of 31 primary schools in Sutton we can score, 41 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 — 6.7/10 against 3,249 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Hackbridge Primary School
Overview
Hackbridge Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and positive learning community" where pupils "attend and achieve well." Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring pupils are "successfully prepared for their next steps at secondary school" through a typically well-designed curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils embody core rules to "be safe, be ready, be kind," resulting in sensible behaviour and a culture where bullying is not tolerated.
- The curriculum in most subjects is "well designed," with carefully planned opportunities for pupils to revisit and embed knowledge.
- Reading is prioritised from the start, with a "well structured and ambitious" early reading curriculum that helps pupils read confidently.
- An "above and beyond" enrichment offer, including museum visits and specialist speakers, helps "bring the curriculum to life."
- Leaders promote staff well-being with "great thought and care," helping staff manage their workload effectively.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects at an earlier stage of development, assessment is not used precisely to check what pupils know, leading to gaps in understanding.
- The school should ensure staff have sufficient subject knowledge across the curriculum to check pupils’ understanding and make necessary adaptations.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
