Check the area around this school
32nd of 35 primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score, 36 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 — 4.4/10 against 1,668 of them, against 3.6/10 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 | 39.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.30 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Old Oak Primary School
Overview
Old Oak Primary School is described as a “very happy school at the heart of its community” where pupils are “demonstrably respectful and empathetic.” Leaders place a “huge emphasis on developing pupils’ character and social consciousness,” resulting in excellent behaviour and strong personal development. The school provides a broad curriculum with high expectations, though leaders are currently working to deepen subject knowledge in foundation subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “excellent” behaviour, with incidents of misbehaviour being “rare.”
- Staff teach reading as a “high priority,” ensuring pupils become “fluent and confident readers” through well-targeted support.
- The school offers extensive enrichment, including visits to museums and a residential trip, fostering high ambitions.
- Staff morale is “high,” with leaders being “considerate of their welfare” and avoiding “onerous tasks.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “access the same curriculum and other experiences as their classmates.”
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, pupils are “not developing a deep enough understanding of specific subject-related core concepts,” meaning they do not routinely achieve as highly as they could.
- Leaders should ensure they “consider carefully how they will build and deepen, step by step from early years upwards, pupils’ knowledge of core subject concepts.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with leaders and staff being “vigilant” and acting “swiftly to help pupils” and their families.
