55th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 6.5/10 against 1,139 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 62% | 3.70 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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 Middle Park Primary School
Overview
Pupils arrive at school happy, feeling welcome and part of the community. The school provides an "ambitious and inspiring curriculum" where expectations are clearly laid out, resulting in a calm atmosphere that allows learning to occur without disruption. Leaders are considerate of staff needs, and governors actively challenge leaders to maintain high standards.
Strengths
- Behaviour is of an "exceptional standard," creating a calm environment for learning.
- The early years provision is outstanding, with adults modelling language to ensure children communicate with confidence.
- Teachers emphasise key vocabulary and review it regularly, helping pupils show a strong command of subject-specific language.
- The phonics programme is successful, ensuring almost all pupils are fluent readers by the end of Year 1.
- Pupils take on meaningful leadership roles, such as 'play leaders', which are embedded into school life.
Areas to improve
- The support offered to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is variable, meaning some do not achieve as well as they could.
- The school must ensure that adaptations to teaching approaches are applied consistently to meet individual needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
