32nd of 54 primary schools in Wandsworth we can score, 57 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 7.6/10 against 2,100 of them, against 6.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Sellincourt Primary School
Overview
Sellincourt Primary School is confirmed as a "good school," described as an "extremely happy and harmonious place" where pupils feel safe and enjoy attending. Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering a strong sense of community where disruption and bullying are rare. The school provides a broad curriculum with a strong emphasis on reading and pupil voice.
Strengths
- Pupils follow a "structured programme of phonics" from Reception, resulting in rapid progress and a love of reading.
- Teachers possess "good subject knowledge," allowing them to clearly explain ideas and effectively check pupil understanding.
- There is a strong focus on pupil leadership, with groups such as the student council and "Young Interpreters" programme supporting peers.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) follow the same curriculum as their peers and receive timely additional support.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders who have created a "strong community" and implemented policies to reduce workload.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure greater clarity in how knowledge and skills are sequenced in a small number of subjects still under development.
- The curriculum in these specific areas needs to be logically sequenced to "build on pupils’ prior knowledge" more consistently.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being proactive in ensuring pupils receive help and staff receiving regular training to keep pupils safe.
