Check the area around this school
42nd of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 — 3.5/10 against 1,761 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Leopold Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2022.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils access swimming, a breakfast club, and an after-school club.

How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school provision? How does the school maintain the Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
What Ofsted said about Leopold Primary School
Overview
Leopold Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a diverse community where pupils behave well and work hard. Leaders have effectively addressed past turbulence, establishing high expectations and a strong focus on reading that supports pupil achievement and confidence.
Strengths
- Teachers maintain high expectations, checking understanding before moving on, which helps pupils persist until they succeed.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff are experts in early reading, teaching phonics consistently, with extra support for those struggling.
- The curriculum is well sequenced, helping pupils build and remember knowledge over time, particularly in subjects like music.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported, enabling them to participate fully in learning.
- Leaders support staff well-being and professional development, while governors challenge leaders to keep improving.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should engage more with parents to create a shared understanding of how the school manages pupil behaviour, addressing some parental concerns.
- In a few subjects, curriculum planning lacks precision; leaders must ensure teachers know exactly what knowledge pupils need to learn and when.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders responding promptly to concerns and working with external agencies, though some past staff check details were not recorded centrally.
