Rushmore Primary School
London, E5 0LE · Hackney · primary school
26th of 50 primary schools in Hackney we can score. 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 — 9.5/10 against 3,003 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Art Ambassador Agents club and participate in sports including netball, BMX, wheelchair basketball, table tennis, tennis, football, street dance, and multi-sports. Trips include visits to the Hackney School of Food and local galleries. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 455 pupils in a capacity of 470, leaving 15 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to maintain the high performance seen in the similar-intake comparison? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 15 places remaining?
