Check the area around this school
41st of 45 primary schools in Hounslow we can score, 50 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 — 3.0/10 against 2,182 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Southville Primary School
Overview
Southville Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. The report describes a school where pupils are ‘kept happy and safe’ and enjoy lessons that teachers ‘make fun’. Leaders have established high expectations, ensuring a broad curriculum and strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- The curriculum in most subjects is ‘well thought through, sequenced, and delivered effectively’, with teachers possessing ‘secure’ subject knowledge.
- Early reading is prioritised, with staff trained to teach phonics consistently and providing an ‘extensive range of books’ matched to pupils’ abilities.
- Pupils behave ‘sensibly’ and are encouraged to take on responsibilities, such as serving as ‘young leaders’ or members of the ‘school parliament’.
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with SEND, helping them access the ‘same curriculum as their peers’.
- The governing body has an ‘accurate understanding’ of the school’s strengths, and staff wellbeing is given priority with ‘manageable’ workloads.
Areas to improve
- In a ‘minority of foundation subjects’, the knowledge and skills pupils need to remember are not ‘clearly identified or coherently organised’, hindering the development of subject-specific understanding.
- Teaching occasionally fails to ‘identify and address misconceptions’ in pupils’ knowledge, leading to gaps in understanding that require swift resolution.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’, noting that leaders have developed a ‘positive culture of safeguarding’ and ensure staff understand their responsibilities to keep children safe.
