Check the area around this school
43rd 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 — 4.9/10 against 1,984 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| 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 Havelock Primary School, Nursery & Arp
Overview
Havelock Primary School, Nursery & ARP continues to be a good school. The inspection confirms that leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, fostering a supportive environment where pupils feel safe and behave respectfully. The curriculum is broad and ambitious, with knowledge sequenced effectively to help pupils build understanding cumulatively.
Strengths
- The school places high importance on values, equality, and respecting the rights of others, encouraging pupils to share views and take on democratic responsibilities.
- Teaching checks regularly that pupils remember important information and adjusts appropriately to address gaps, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- The curriculum matches the breadth of the national curriculum, with effective sequencing enabling pupils to connect prior knowledge to current learning.
- Staff well-being is considered, with regular communication and engagement from leaders, while the governing body provides effective support and challenge.
- Pupils are focused and attentive, with lessons not interrupted by low-level disruptive behaviour, and the school takes swift action on attendance concerns.
Areas to improve
- Occasionally, teaching demonstrates phonics sounds incorrectly, which pupils then copy, embedding misconceptions that hinder reading progress. The school must provide training to ensure sounds are consistently modelled correctly and continue to monitor phonics teaching.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
