45th of 57 primary schools in Ealing we can score, 65 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 — 4.8/10 against 1,921 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Hobbayne Primary School
Overview
Hobbayne Primary School is described as a place where pupils are happy, safe, and demonstrate exemplary behaviour. Leaders have implemented a broad, ambitious curriculum that prepares pupils well for their next educational stage, with particular success in early reading and mathematics. The school has moved on significantly from its previous inspection, with staff feeling valued and leaders committed to continuous improvement.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "exemplary," with pupils showing high levels of respect and taking responsibility for their own conduct through the "You own your own behaviour" approach.
- Early reading is prioritised with a consistent phonics programme; books are carefully matched to sounds, ensuring pupils develop fluency and accuracy.
- The curriculum sets out clear knowledge and skills from Nursery to Year 6, allowing pupils to build strong foundations in subjects like mathematics and history.
- Pupils feel valued and included, with opportunities to take on responsibilities such as representing peers on the school council or acting as playground buddies.
- Staff are "overwhelmingly positive" about leaders’ care for their workload and well-being, feeling trusted and supported.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects that are at an earlier stage of development, teachers do not check as carefully that pupils have secured essential ideas, limiting understanding.
- Leaders should ensure teachers consistently check pupils’ understanding and make links with prior learning explicit to deepen knowledge across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong focus central to the school’s culture and staff well trained to identify risks and report concerns swiftly.
