50th of 50 primary schools in Hackney we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,305 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 1.2/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 62% | 0.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Lubavitch Boys' Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school that provides a "warm and nurturing environment" where pupils are "very happy to come to school each day." Leaders have taken "effective action to raise academic standards," resulting in pupils achieving well overall, including those who may be disadvantaged. The inspection notes that the school has moved on from its previous "Requires improvement" rating, with all key judgement areas now rated as Good.

- Behaviour is "very positive," supporting a happy environment where pupils can focus on learning, and attendance is high.

Areas to improve

- Curriculum thinking in some subjects is at an "earlier stage of development," lacking clear expectations for what content should be taught and when.
- The school needs to ensure it can "assure that the quality of this learning matches the school’s aims" across all subjects.
