Check the area around this school
16th of 32 primary schools in Westminster we can score, 33 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 — 9.4/10 against 826 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 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 Queen's Park Primary School
Overview
Queen’s Park Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a “friendly and nurturing place to learn” where pupils are “happy” and behave well. Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring pupils learn the curriculum well and feel safe within a supportive community.
Strengths
- Pupils are “kind and considerate,” with bullying rarely occurring; staff take “swift action” against unkind behaviour.
- Early reading is taught consistently using a well-trained phonics programme, with books “closely matched to the sounds pupils know.”
- Mathematics teaching is clear, with teachers using questions to identify gaps and ensuring pupils remember key concepts before moving on.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support to access learning alongside peers and develop independence.
- Governors are “committed to and ambitious for the school,” working closely with leaders to support staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, knowledge is not taught in a “logical order,” meaning pupils struggle to link new concepts to prior learning; leaders must sequence the curriculum in all subjects to ensure secure knowledge building.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being well trained, aware of potential risks, and acting swiftly when concerns arise.
