18th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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 Stag Lane Primary School
Overview
Stag Lane Primary School is a well-regarded institution where pupils are described as happy, safe, and engaged in their learning. The school maintains high expectations for behaviour and academic achievement, supported by strong pastoral care and effective partnerships with families.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning and benefit from a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that is "coherently sequenced" in most subjects, helping them secure strong recall of knowledge.
- Reading is a high priority; early readers are supported with books "closely matched to the sounds that they have learned," fostering fluency and a "love of reading."
- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils behaving "sensibly" and showing "respect and kindness," while disruptions to learning are rare.
- Staff care effectively for pupils’ well-being, and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported to learn alongside peers, with most "achieving well."
- Attendance has improved significantly due to successful strategies and close collaboration with families.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is "less precise" and not implemented as intended, leading to gaps in some pupils' understanding.
- Teachers must ensure pupils’ understanding is "checked carefully enough" to address misconceptions, as errors are sometimes repeated in work.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
