Check the area around this school
20th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 8.1/10 against 3,027 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| 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 Lake Farm Park Academy
Overview
Lake Farm Park Academy continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy their time and feel safe. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and achievement, fostering a supportive environment where students help one another and engage positively with staff.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy school, particularly lunchtime activities, and demonstrate respectful, considerate behaviour towards each other.
- Reading is given high priority, with effective phonics teaching and extra support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective help, with leaders working closely with external experts and adapting teaching appropriately.
- The curriculum is ambitious and well-sequenced, ensuring pupils build secure knowledge in subjects like mathematics.
- Leaders nurture trusting relationships with pupils, who feel confident to raise concerns, including those about bullying.
Areas to improve
- Leaders and teachers should place greater emphasis on ensuring pupils know and remember essential knowledge, rather than focusing too heavily on classroom activities, to make pupils’ knowledge more secure in some areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with appropriate staff checks, swift follow-up of concerns, and pupils receiving education on safety issues such as online and road safety.
