Check the area around this school
7th 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 — 9.7/10 against 1,487 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 62% | 5.39 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 38% | 3.61 |
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 Horn Park Primary School
Overview
Horn Park Primary School is described as an "inclusive and friendly" environment where "pupils flourish" and feel included. The report highlights "excellent" behaviour, strong positive relationships, and a curriculum that is "ambitious and well-considered," though some inconsistencies in teaching practice remain.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "excellent" behaviour, with bullying being "rare" and a culture of respect and cooperation established from the early years.
- There is "very strong support for pupils with SEND," including specialist provision and careful identification of needs to ensure inclusion.
- Reading is a clear priority, with an "effective" phonics curriculum and books that "closely match the sounds that they know."
- Personal development is praised as "exceptional," with pupils enjoying "wide range of enrichment opportunities" and taking on leadership roles like 'play leaders'.
- Staff morale is "high" due to "high-quality professional development opportunities" and considered workload management.
Areas to improve
- Assessment is not always used consistently to identify misconceptions, leading to "superficial understanding" in some subjects; the school must ensure understanding is routinely checked before introducing new content.
- In some lessons, selected activities do not enable pupils to achieve the curriculum's ambitions, meaning some do not progress as intended; tasks must be chosen to help pupils "learn and remember more."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
