Check the area around this school
21st of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 61 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 — 5.1/10 against 3,769 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Hampton Lakes Primary School
Overview
Hampton Lakes Primary School is described as a "safe and harmonious place in which to learn" where pupils feel "well cared for and valued." The report highlights a "strong sense of community" and a "well-crafted curriculum" that has been quickly established since the school opened. Overall effectiveness is judged as Good.
Strengths
- Pupils are "kind and respectful," fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels "welcome and included."
- Staff deliver a "broad and engaging curriculum," with specialist teachers in subjects like art and modern foreign languages deepening pupils’ knowledge.
- Most pupils achieve a "secure grasp of reading" by the end of Year 2 through daily practice with books "matched to their ability."
- Effective support is provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they "engage well in their learning."
- A "well-designed personal development curriculum" teaches pupils about online safety, democracy, and relationships.
Areas to improve
- Staff must adapt lessons more precisely to meet specific learning needs, as some pupils currently miss opportunities to "extend and develop their learning further."
- Leaders need to ensure staff receive training on delivering "bespoke targets" for pupils with SEND, as current targets lack sufficient precision for short-term goals.
