16th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.7/10 against 1,624 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Mitchell Brook Primary School
Overview
Mitchell Brook Primary School is described as having a “vibrant and inclusive community feel” where pupils enjoy a “highly positive experience of school life.” The report highlights an “ambitious curriculum” that delivers strong outcomes in early years, reading, and mathematics, supported by excellent behaviour and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “consistently positive attitudes” and “excellent behaviour,” with bullying incidents being “rare and dealt with swiftly.”
- The early years provision is “exceptional,” giving children an “excellent start” with expert modelling of mathematical vocabulary and strong phonics outcomes.
- Reading is highly prioritised, with staff receiving “regular, high-quality training” and pupils showing enthusiasm for reading for pleasure.
- Leaders ensure outcomes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “as strong as their peers” through clear identification strategies.
- Pupils actively celebrate cultural diversity and take on leadership roles, such as “eco-warriors” and “school councillors,” with “pride and enthusiasm.”
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects in Years 1 to 6, particularly where the curriculum is newer, learning activities are “not as clearly thought out and purposeful,” leading to gaps in pupils’ understanding.
- The school should refine teaching approaches in these wider curriculum areas to ensure pupils’ knowledge “grows over time” and they master intended content.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
