22nd 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 — 9.4/10 against 2,156 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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 Henwick Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school that provides a "warm and welcoming learning environment" underpinned by values of "belonging, respect, compassion, collaboration and ambition." Leaders have established a "broad and ambitious curriculum" with high expectations, resulting in pupils who are "polite and respectful" and feel "happy and safe." The inspection highlights significant improvements in reading outcomes and attendance, alongside a strong culture of personal development and community engagement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exemplary" behaviour, are "motivated in lessons," and know they can speak to adults about concerns.
- Reading is a major priority; the phonics programme is "fully embedded," leading to improved outcomes for younger pupils and effective support for those who struggle.
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced, with staff developing mathematical and language skills effectively, such as pupils in Year 6 writing autobiographical paragraphs in Spanish.
- Leaders provide strong support for staff well-being and workload, with staff feeling "listened to, cared for and appreciated."
- Personal development is promoted through diverse trips, clubs, and a pupil parliament, encouraging children to become "active citizens."
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, systems to build "ambitious knowledge and understanding" are not fully embedded, preventing some pupils from developing deeper subject knowledge.
- The PSHE curriculum is not always implemented "rigorously and consistently," meaning some pupils cannot securely recall important content regarding safety and relationships.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
