Check the area around this school
39th 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 — 4.0/10 against 3,424 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Sparrow Farm Primary School
Overview
Sparrow Farm Primary School is described as a “welcoming and inclusive” institution where staff maintain “high expectations” for all pupils. The report highlights a “broad and ambitious” curriculum that supports strong pupil behaviour, positive relationships, and effective personal development, including robust support for mental and physical health.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “broad and ambitious right from the start,” with pupils building secure foundational knowledge and revisiting concepts to deepen understanding.
- Staff have “good subject knowledge” and explain ideas clearly, designing activities that help pupils remember and practise learning.
- The school promotes a “love of reading” with a rich range of vocabulary and diversity in books, alongside an adapted phonics programme for late joiners.
- Pupils feel safe, behave well, and value opportunities for leadership roles such as “peer mediators” and “eco-warriors.”
- Effective systems identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with good collaboration with external agencies.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, pupils’ misconceptions are not “swiftly identified and addressed,” limiting deep understanding and application of learning.
- Information about the needs of pupils with SEND is not always used well to adapt teaching, causing some to struggle accessing the full curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
