St Robert Southwell Catholic Primary School
London, NW9 8YD · Brent · primary school
5th of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 the 3,562 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6/10 among them, against 8.3/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6 out of 10 among them, against 8.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Fine Motor Skills, Sewing, Book, Cookery, and Art Clubs, play Mixed Tennis, Girls' Football, Girls Netball, or Boys' Football, and sing in the Choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 449 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 29. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 29 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to children who do not attend the after-school club? How does the curriculum address the gap between the 7.6/10 similar-intake score and the 8.3/10 national average?
