Check the area around this school
39th of 42 primary schools in Merton we can score, 43 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 — 3.4/10 against 3,465 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
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 Hatfeild Primary School
Overview
Hatfeild Primary School is described as a “nurturing and joyful school” where pupils feel “safe and happy” and value warm relationships with staff. The report highlights that the school has fully embedded its vision of being ‘ready, respectful, safe,’ resulting in positive behaviour and high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “courtesy and respect” and behaviour is “typically calm and purposeful.”
- The curriculum in mathematics and science is well-structured, allowing pupils to “retain their knowledge and build on it over time.”
- Reading provision is strong, with staff having the expertise to teach phonics well and ensuring books “match the sounds they have learned.”
- The specially resourced provision for pupils with autism is “meeting the needs of its pupils very well,” creating a “nurturing environment.”
- Leaders and governors have taken “swift and effective action” to improve the school, with staff feeling “very well supported.”
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not “securely and consistently embedded across all of the foundation subjects,” meaning activity choices in some lessons do not support pupils to secure key knowledge.
- Oversight of SEND provision in mainstream classes lacks “sufficient rigour,” limiting some pupils from receiving the right help to achieve well.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
