26th 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 — 7.3/10 against 1,154 of them, against 5.8/10 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 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The school fosters a positive environment where relationships are strong and pupils feel safe and supported.
Strengths

- Teachers have a “secure understanding” of key knowledge and make “effective checks” to address gaps before introducing new information.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified early and learn the “same ambitious curriculum as their peers,” typically achieving “positive outcomes.”
- The personal development offer is “exceptionally well thought out,” featuring a wide variety of clubs, trips, and pupil leadership roles that build confidence.
- Staff and governors work effectively together, with governors holding the school to account while considering “staff workload and well-being.”
Areas to improve
