Check the area around this school
32nd 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 — 9.1/10 against 2,062 of them, against 8.0/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Mulgrave Primary School
Overview
Mulgrave Primary School continues to be a good school, with evidence suggesting it could be judged outstanding if a graded inspection were conducted now. The school is described as a welcoming and inclusive community where pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and behave with respect and kindness. Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum that reflects the school’s diversity and helps develop pupils as global citizens.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well sequenced" so pupils revisit and secure important concepts before moving to more challenging ideas, particularly in English, geography, and mathematics.
- Phonics teaching is "systematic and effective," with staff trained to implement the programme with clarity and consistency, allowing quick identification of struggling readers.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities, including collaborations with local heritage sites, artists, and authors, providing access to rich cultural experiences.
- Staff are committed to providing high-quality education, and leaders have taken steps to reduce workload and consider staff well-being.
- Pupils are helped to settle in quickly if they join mid-year, ensuring they feel safe and supported within the school community.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure staff receive sufficient training and ongoing support to help pupils with complex needs better regulate their behaviour, as management is currently inconsistent for a small number of pupils.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and maintaining strong relationships with families and outside agencies to ensure pupils are kept safe.
