39th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 9.0/10 against 1,292 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Hawksmoor School
Overview
Hawksmoor School is described as a community where pupils thrive, supported by strong professional relationships and ambitious leadership. The report highlights significant improvements since the predecessor school’s previous inadequate rating, noting that the school “no longer requires significant improvement.” Pupils benefit from an environment that encourages kindness, resilience, and high achievement, particularly in reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is “exemplary,” with students being “kind, resilient” and considerate of others’ feelings.
- The curriculum is “ambitious for all,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with “carefully selected and ordered” content in core subjects.
- Reading is a “top curriculum priority,” with comprehensive staff training and precise support for phonics to ensure fluency.
- Leaders have created a positive culture where staff appreciate support for their “workload and well-being.”
- Pupils are encouraged to make “safe, informed, responsible choices” and contribute positively to the local community.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum thinking in some foundation subjects is “not as well developed,” leading to less secure knowledge recall compared to other subjects.
- The school should ensure that “curriculum thinking in all foundation subjects is equally strong” to help pupils learn main aims securely.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
