Check the area around this school
21st of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,666 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 62% | 4.51 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
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 Salusbury Primary School
Overview
Salusbury Primary School is described as a "nurturing and caring school with the community at its heart," where pupils feel safe and are "welcoming and polite." The inspection highlights an "ambitious" and "logically sequenced" curriculum that fosters a "calm, focused and respectful atmosphere," resulting in high achievement and positive attitudes towards learning.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exemplary behaviour" and build "trusting relationships with staff" in a respectful environment.
- The curriculum is "ambitious for all pupils," with strong progress in subjects like mathematics and computing.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "extremely well supported" through precise plans and early identification.
- Reading is a "high priority," with a consistent approach that helps pupils develop "fluency and comprehension."
- Leaders provide "bespoke opportunities for high-quality professional development," and staff appreciate the "nurturing approach to their workload."
Areas to improve
- In the early years and a few foundation subjects, the curriculum is not fully embedding key knowledge, meaning pupils sometimes struggle to "connect prior learning to new concepts."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
