Check the area around this school
26th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 6.8/10 against 3,224 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 41% | 2.46 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 26% | 1.68 |
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 Hayes Park School
Overview
Hayes Park School continues to be a good school where pupils are happy, safe, and report little or no bullying. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to do well, providing a well-sequenced curriculum that promotes greater understanding over time. The school maintains a strong ethos of respect, with clear expectations for behaviour and learning that pupils consistently meet.
Strengths
- There is a strong reading culture, with phonics taught consistently from Nursery and Reception, helping pupils become fluent, independent readers.
- The curriculum is full and bespoke, with clear, well-sequenced learning in subjects like mathematics, history, and science, supported by knowledgeable teachers.
- Pupils’ vocabulary is actively developed, enabling them to use subject-specific words to deepen their understanding and make links between subjects.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported, accessing the same curriculum with tailored help to make progress.
- Staff feel valued and trusted, appreciating leaders’ care for their workload and well-being, while pupils enjoy a wide range of clubs and activities.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the full implementation of the curriculum is not firmly embedded due to catch-up from COVID-19, meaning pupils’ knowledge is not always deepened progressively over time.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where leaders, governors, and staff are well trained to identify concerns quickly and deal with them promptly.
