Check the area around this school
24th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.9/10 against 3,510 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Rosedale Primary School
Overview
Rosedale Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe" and "eager to come to school every day." Leaders have established a culture where "books, vocabulary and reading are a top priority," resulting in a carefully sequenced curriculum that supports high expectations and strong pupil engagement.
Strengths
- Pupils are "polite, confident and courteous," with staff dealing promptly with the "rare occasions where bullying occurs."
- A robust phonics programme ensures most pupils become "fluent readers by the time they reach the end of Year 2," with very few falling behind.
- The curriculum is "carefully thought out and well sequenced," allowing pupils to build secure knowledge from Nursery through to Year 6.
- Leaders are "ambitious for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities," identifying them quickly and providing effective support.
- Staff workload remains "manageable," and staff are "happy to be a part of this school."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure adults give "accurate guidance to correct their errors when reading," as inaccurate advice currently hampers some pupils’ reading development.
- Leaders should help teachers introduce new ideas in a "manageable" way, as giving pupils "large amounts of new information all at once" makes it difficult for them to retain essential content.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being "vigilant" and knowing how to spot early warning signs of neglect, abuse, or exploitation.
