Holmleigh Primary School
London, N16 5ED · Hackney · primary school
49th of 50 primary schools in Hackney we can score. 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 — 4.4/10 against 1,260 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 62% | 1.36 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.96 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access football, gymnastics, rugby, dance, fencing, swimming, and bikeability training. Trips include visits to Spain, Turkey, and Murcia, alongside robotics projects and the Children’s Day Festival. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 381 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 39 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the robotics trips to Murcia and Usak? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
