Check the area around this school
47th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 4.1/10 against 1,928 of them, against 3.6/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 62% | 2.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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 St Andrew's C of E Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy and safe within this “friendly, caring school” where values such as resilience and responsibility are embedded in daily life. The report highlights that the school has made significant improvements since its previous inspection, with leaders systematically monitoring the impact of changes to the curriculum. Pupils achieve well in most subjects, supported by high expectations and inclusive practices that enable all learners to succeed together.
Strengths
- The curriculum design is “ambitious and sequenced well,” with pupils revisiting themes to help them “know and remember key information.”
- Reading is a high priority; staff are “skilled” in teaching phonics, and pupils read with “fluency and expression,” showing confidence in understanding texts.
- The school is “inclusive and skilful in supporting pupils’ individual needs,” ensuring those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) progress well and are fully included.
- Pupils demonstrate positive relationships and good behaviour, taking on roles of responsibility such as “class monitors” and “safeguarding leaders” to contribute to the school community.
- Leaders and governors work effectively with external advisers, and staff appreciate the focus on their “well-being and workload.”
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is “still developing,” and activities do not always enable pupils to develop “depth in their knowledge and understanding.”
- This limits some pupils’ ability to explain their learning beyond simple facts, restricting their “written and oral explanations.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
