How this is worked out

|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 4.01 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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 Hadley Wood Primary School
Overview
Hadley Wood Primary School is judged ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, maintaining high standards since its previous ‘Outstanding’ rating. Leaders foster a nurturing environment where pupils are encouraged to become ‘confident, capable and caring’ members of society, supported by professional and respectful staff relationships.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘well planned and broad’, with teaching structured in a ‘logical, step-by-step way’ to help pupils build securely on previous knowledge.
- Reading is a high priority; children secure phonics knowledge through a ‘consistent and well-structured teaching programme’, with weaker readers receiving targeted support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are ‘well supported to study the same curriculum as their peers’, promoting independence and resilience.
- Staff workload and well-being are prioritised, with access to on-site counselling, while governors take a ‘highly professional approach’ to supporting and challenging leaders.
- Personal development is enriched through numerous clubs and leadership roles, such as the school council, which supports pupils’ ‘understanding of democracy’.
Areas to improve
- In physical education and music, leaders’ systematic approach to checking what pupils know and remember is ‘still developing’.
- Leaders should ensure assessment strategies are ‘firmly embedded in all subjects’ so that pupils needing to catch up are identified quickly and supported.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with well-trained staff, robust recruitment checks, and detailed tracking of concerns to ensure pupils receive necessary support.
