Check the area around this school
19th of 69 primary schools in Bromley we can score, 76 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.4/10 against 4,258 of them, against 9.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
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 Parish Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils are “very proud of their school” and “happy to come here,” benefiting from a “broad and balanced curriculum” that enables effective learning. The school fosters a “calm and orderly environment” where behaviour is “exemplary” and personal development is “extremely well supported.” Leaders maintain high expectations for attendance and work closely with parents to ensure pupils are kept safe and engaged.
Strengths
- Behaviour is “exemplary,” with pupils moving around the school “calmly and quietly” and learning being “very rarely disrupted.”
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced so pupils “consistently build on their prior knowledge,” supported by teachers with “strong subject knowledge.”
- Reading is a daily priority; the phonics approach is “implemented consistently well,” helping pupils become “accurate and fluent readers quickly.”
- Personal development is robust, with “numerous opportunities for pupils to take on leadership roles” and participation in a “wealth of lunchtime and after-school clubs.”
- Early years provision is effective, with children who need additional support identified “effectively” and measures put in place “swiftly.”
Areas to improve
- Support for some pupils with SEND in Years 1 to 6 needs strengthening, as expectations are not always broken down into “smaller steps of learning” required for progression.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
