Check the area around this school
6th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.3/10 against 3,300 of them, against 8.7/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 62% | 5.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 38% | 3.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
