44th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,277 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Lyon Park Primary School
Overview
Lyon Park Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "happy and kept safe," supported by clear rules and available adults. The school delivers a "broad and ambitious" curriculum that generally prepares pupils well for their next educational stage, with staff maintaining "consistently high expectations." Overall, the inspection found the school to be effective, with strong leadership and a positive atmosphere for learning.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate good behaviour and strive to "Go for Gold," with bullying incidents being rare and dealt with swiftly.
- Reading is a high priority; phonics teaching starts early, and staff are well trained, helping pupils read with "growing accuracy and confidence."
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," allowing pupils to revisit and embed key concepts over time in subjects like geography and mathematics.
- Leaders provide effective support for staff workload and well-being, with teachers being "knowledgeable and well trained."
- Pupils’ wider development is well considered, including learning about British values, different faiths, and mental and physical health.
Areas to improve
- The design and technology curriculum is at an "earlier stage of development," leading to gaps in pupils’ knowledge that are not consistently identified or addressed.
- Some pupils at the earliest stages of learning English are given reading books that are "too complex," which can negatively affect their reading fluency.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong safeguarding culture" where all staff are well trained to identify risks and report concerns quickly.
