Longfield Primary School
Harrow, HA2 7NZ · Harrow · primary school
16th of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 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 — 7.7/10 against 4,227 of them, against 7.5/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Bug Club and participate in cricket, football, tag rugby, hockey, and athletics. Arts activities include African drumming, drama, and circus skills. Trips visit Ark Farm, Hertfordshire Zoo, Headstone Manor, RHS Wisley, and PGL. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 617 pupils in a capacity of 840, leaving 223 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do teachers manage class sizes when the school operates well below its maximum capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the school integrate the various sports and arts workshops into the regular timetable?
