Hawes Down Primary School
West Wickham, BR4 0BA · Bromley · primary school
55th of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 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 the 2,143 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 5.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Computer Coding, Karate, and Spotlights Theatre School clubs, play football or hockey, and learn piano, violin, or flute. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 443 pupils in a capacity of 474, leaving 31 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without prior breakfast club experience?
