Check the area around this school
52nd 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 — 1.6/10 against 2,634 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Ruislip Gardens Primary School
Overview
Ruislip Gardens Primary School is described as a "welcoming and inclusive" environment where pupils are happy and feel safe. The report highlights a "nurturing environment" underpinned by values of resilience, responsibility, respect, and reflection, which helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to flourish.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from staff who know them "very well as individuals," enabling them to achieve well and build strong friendships.
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," with teachers demonstrating "comprehensive knowledge" of their subjects to create interesting learning activities.
- Reading is a high priority; staff teach phonics with "skill and confidence," ensuring pupils read with "accuracy, confidence and enthusiasm."
- Pupils with SEND receive "bespoke support" from a well-trained team, with a "highly effective" specially resourced provision helping them overcome barriers.
- Governors have a "thorough understanding" of the school and use their expertise to hold leaders to account effectively.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure it supports pupils to build understanding securely by "revisiting and building on the most important subject content," as some learning activities do not help pupils remember key information deeply.
- The school should ensure that checks on pupils’ knowledge provide the information needed to build on prior learning effectively, as the current picture of what pupils know is not clear enough in some subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
