Check the area around this school
13th of 54 primary schools in Wandsworth we can score, 57 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.5/10 against 3,809 of them, against 9.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.45 |
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 Honeywell Junior School
Overview
Honeywell Junior School is described as a place where pupils are “happy and safe,” exhibiting “respectful” behaviour and a “strong shared ethos.” The report highlights a “friendly and welcoming” environment where students are “mature in their thinking” and proud of their school community.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “high expectations” for behaviour, with “little disruption in lessons” and bullying being “rare.”
- Leaders provide “effective provision for pupils with SEND,” ensuring accurate identification of needs and strong links with external professionals.

- Pupils benefit from diverse experiences, including weekly visits to the local common and various after-school clubs.

Areas to improve
- The curriculum is “not yet sufficiently well planned and sequenced in some subjects,” requiring leaders to complete reviews within their identified timescale.
