26th of 57 primary schools in Ealing we can score, 65 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 — 8.3/10 against 2,938 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Hambrough Primary School
Overview
Hambrough Primary School is described as a “kind, inclusive school” where pupils are “happy and safe.” Leaders have established a “well-planned, sequenced, and ambitious curriculum” that prepares students well for their next educational stage. The report highlights positive behaviour, effective support for pupils with special educational needs, and strong community engagement.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well-planned, sequenced, and ambitious,” helping pupils understand and remember key concepts across a broad range of subjects.
- Teachers “revisit and review learning regularly,” which aids retention; for instance, in science, pupils successfully apply previous knowledge to new investigations.
- Reading is prioritised with staff trained in phonics, ensuring “weaker readers are swiftly identified” and supported to improve fluency and accuracy.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported to access the same curriculum as their peers” through appropriate adaptations.
- Behaviour is positive with “rare” bullying incidents, and pupils are confident to report worries, knowing adults will “act promptly.”
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of subjects,” teachers do not sufficiently check that pupils have securely learned and understood taught knowledge, meaning learning is not always deepened as fully as it could be.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” with staff receiving regular training to recognise risks and referring concerns promptly.
