Check the area around this school
40th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 8.1/10 against 1,792 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Haimo Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as “extremely happy and safe” in a school where staff know them well and maintain high expectations. The report highlights a “broad and ambitious curriculum” that fosters strong community links and personal development, though it notes inconsistencies in how early years learning is structured.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “positive friendships” and are developed as “global citizens” through community projects and democratic roles.
- Staff possess “secure knowledge across all subjects” and prioritise reading, ensuring “no pupils are left behind” with consistent phonics teaching.
- The school is praised for its “inclusivity and diversity,” with pupils taught to “value different opinions, faiths and traditions.”
- Leaders ensure staff workload is “manageable,” and governors provide necessary “support and challenge.”
Areas to improve
- In the early years, the “exact knowledge and skills” are not always clearly defined, meaning the curriculum does not always “build logically into the rest of the curriculum.”
- Teaching does not always help pupils “recall and build on prior learning” securely in every subject, causing some to struggle remembering previous content.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
