Check the area around this school
28th of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 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 — 5.5/10 against 3,249 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 38% | 2.36 |
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 Roxeth Primary School
Overview
Roxeth Primary School provides a high-quality education where pupils are described as "happy, confident and resilient." The report highlights an "ambitious curriculum" and "excellent" personal development, supported by strong leadership and positive relationships with families. While most pupils make good progress, there are inconsistencies in teaching quality and resource effectiveness in specific areas.
Strengths
- Personal development is rated "Outstanding," with pupils benefiting from diverse trips, clubs, and leadership roles that prepare them for life in modern Britain.
- Reading provision is strong; the phonics programme is "set out logically," and pupils become "fluent readers quickly" with effective support for those needing extra help.
- Staff have "secure subject knowledge" and present information clearly, often using memorable trips and practical examples to enhance learning.
- The school fosters a calm, respectful environment where pupils are "polite and courteous," and conduct is largely undisturbed.
- Leaders are "forward-looking" and committed to improvement, with staff feeling valued and well-being prioritised.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teaching moves on too quickly before key knowledge is understood, and resources do not always support learning effectively, hindering progress.
- In the early years, activities do not consistently draw out intended learning, and interactions with staff and resources are "variable in quality."
- Support materials for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not always effective, though leaders are currently reviewing these resources.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
