Check the area around this school
37th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 5.7/10 against 2,068 of them, against 4.7/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 62% | 2.13 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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 Rabbsfarm Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending school and benefit from a curriculum that enhances their understanding of the world through activities like growing fruit and visiting places of worship. However, the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership require improvement due to inconsistencies in teaching, curriculum breadth, and policy implementation.
Strengths
- Early years provision is good, with communication and language rightly prioritised to help children build vocabulary and confidence.
- Reading is effectively taught from Reception, with staff trained in phonics and pupils encouraged to enjoy a range of books.
- Personal development is good, with pupils learning about democracy, healthy relationships, and taking on leadership roles.
- Pupils feel safe, know their trusted adults, and make positive contributions to the community through charity fundraising.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some year groups is not sufficiently broad or ambitious, limiting pupils’ readiness for secondary school.
- Teaching lacks consistent precision, meaning some pupils do not secure key knowledge or apply skills to complex tasks.
- Behaviour policies and bullying incidents are not consistently or swiftly addressed, and record-keeping is not robust enough to monitor attendance and incidents effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
