13th of 16 secondary schools in Brent 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 — 7.0/10 against 440 of them, against 4.5/10 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

| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |

| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 42.6 · 32 | 10% | 0.32 |
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 Saint Claudine's Catholic School for Girls
Overview
Saint Claudine's Catholic School for Girls continues to be a good school, providing a "safe, warm and caring community" where leaders are ambitious for every pupil. The report highlights a broad and ambitious curriculum that supports all learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, within an inclusive ethos that values tolerance and kindness.
Strengths
- Leaders provide a "broad and ambitious" curriculum with careful sequencing in many subjects, enabling pupils to develop "secure knowledge."
- Pupils behave well, with bullying dealt with effectively and a behaviour system that rewards kindness and learning.
- Targeted support ensures pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, and those speaking English as an additional language, can access the same curriculum.
- Sixth-form students receive positive guidance for their next steps and are particularly pleased with the support they receive.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders, and governors hold leaders to account while supporting the school’s inclusive ethos.
Areas to improve
- Learning is not sequenced equally well in all subjects; leaders must ensure learning is planned and sequenced coherently to help pupils remember knowledge in the long term.
- Leaders need to embed plans to improve the computing curriculum, including extending the option to study computing to key stage 4.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff appropriately trained to recognise concerns and pupils confident they will receive help if they speak to staff.
