7th of 13 secondary schools in Harrow 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 — 9.2/10 against 878 of them, against 8.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 61.0 · 83 | 31% | 2.52 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.45 · 82 | 26% | 2.08 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 55.0 · 85 | 10% | 0.87 |
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 Salvatorian Roman Catholic College
Overview
Salvatorian Roman Catholic College is described as a “strong, caring community” that continues to be a good school. Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering a culture where pupils are proud to belong and strive for excellence. The inspection confirms that the school provides a broad, balanced education within a calm and orderly environment.
Strengths
- Leaders have established a “culture of mutual respect and understanding” and actively support staff well-being.
- The curriculum is “ambitious for all pupils,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, who access the full curriculum and achieve well.

- Teachers possess “good subject knowledge” and provide regular feedback that helps pupils improve their work.
- Leaders prioritise reading, implementing initiatives like “drop everything and read” to promote a love of literature.
Areas to improve

- Teachers must “check more carefully that pupils have understood essential knowledge” before moving on, as some pupils currently require extra help to secure their learning.
