38th 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 2,075 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Hayes Primary School
Overview
Hayes Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "close-knit community" and "warm and caring relationships." Leaders maintain high expectations for all pupils, fostering a supportive culture where children feel safe, behave well, and enjoy learning.
Strengths
- Pupils are "polite and behave well," valuing rewards and feeling secure, with bullying incidents being "quickly sorted out."
- The curriculum is "ambitious," with particular success in mathematics where pupils develop automaticity and in music where they collaborate to a "high standard."
- Early reading is taught effectively; staff are well trained and catch pupils before they fall behind, resulting in most reading "accurately and fluently."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, becoming "increasingly confident and independent" rather than overly reliant on help.
- Leaders prioritise pupils’ wider development, including emotional well-being and social skills, through activities like support groups for young carers.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must refine the curriculum scope to ensure teachers are clear about the "big ideas" and essential knowledge, as some pupils are introduced to too much new information too quickly.
- In a few instances, pupil misconceptions are not corrected, making it difficult for them to connect new knowledge with prior learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring it is "at the forefront of the school’s work" through rigorous checks, staff training, and prompt responses to concerns.
