Check the area around this school
11th 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 — 8.4/10 against 3,598 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.20 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
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 Boniface RC Primary School
Overview
St Boniface RC Primary School is described as a “nurturing and inclusive” institution where pupils achieve highly and feel safe. The report highlights a “highly inclusive” culture with strong leadership, noting that pupils build a “deep body of knowledge” and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve highly, with “consistently high standard” work and particular strengths in mathematics and writing.
- The curriculum is “well structured and ambitious,” supported by “imaginative activities” and effective teaching that addresses learning gaps with precision.
- Inclusion is central to the school’s work, with “timely, personalised” support ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities make strong progress.
- Behaviour is excellent, with “calm and purposeful” classrooms and rare bullying concerns that are addressed swiftly.
- Leaders and governors provide “highly effective” oversight, fostering a collaborative environment where staff feel valued and parents are engaged as partners.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure learning activities in the early years “deepen children's understanding consistently and highly,” as some activities currently do not sufficiently build on existing knowledge.
- Leaders should continue to strengthen efforts to improve attendance and reduce persistent absence, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an “open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility” and concerns actively identified and managed.
