Check the area around this school
29th of 38 primary schools in Harrow we can score, 40 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 — 5.1/10 against 3,673 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Teresa's Catholic Primary School and Nursery
Overview
St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe" within a community defined by values of "trust, appreciation, respect, honesty and love." Leaders are "ambitious for pupils to succeed," delivering a carefully designed curriculum that prepares children well for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully designed" with important knowledge identified from early years, helping pupils, including those with SEND, to "build their knowledge and understanding."
- Reading is "prioritised, from the early years," with staff delivering phonics consistently so pupils learn to read with "fluency and confidence."
- Behaviour expectations are "clear and consistently applied," ensuring a "purposeful, calm and orderly atmosphere" in lessons and around the school.
- A "broad range of opportunities and experiences" enriches learning, allowing pupils to develop talents through activities such as karate, boxing, and choir performances.
- Pupils’ "broader personal development is well considered," including learning about different cultures, religions, and how to keep themselves safe online.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, assessment is not used effectively to check that pupils have secured the most important knowledge, meaning their understanding is "not as secure." The school should ensure assessment identifies and addresses misconceptions across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
