45th 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 the 4,224 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 41% | 0.71 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.74 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 26% | 1.14 |
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 Roe Green Junior School
Overview
Roe Green Junior School continues to be a good school, offering a broad and balanced curriculum where pupils are kept safe and behave excellently. The report highlights a "calm, focused and respectful atmosphere" where learning is the priority, with staff providing consistent support and high expectations. While the curriculum is well-organised in many subjects, the inspection notes that disruptions from the pandemic have impacted the depth of connections pupils make in some areas.
Strengths
- Behaviour is described as "excellent," with bullying being rare and dealt with effectively.
- The curriculum in subjects such as mathematics, history, and computing is "well-sequenced" and clearly identifies the knowledge pupils need to learn.
- Nearly all pupils can swim by the end of their time at the school, with many exceeding the requirement to swim 25 metres, thanks to onsite pool provision.
- Staff benefit from an ethos of support, with leaders listening to concerns and sharing best practice through an "open-door" policy.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities access the same curriculum as their peers, with carefully planned support.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to ensure pupils can make and understand links between knowledge over time, particularly in history, to develop a deeper understanding.
- Reading to pupils for pleasure must be a "protected part of the daily timetable," as pupils report adults do not read to them as often as they would like.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a strong ethos, working effectively with external agencies, and ensuring staff are well trained to identify risks and report concerns quickly.
