Check the area around this school
7th of 45 primary schools in Hounslow we can score, 50 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 — 9.3/10 against 3,899 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
The Blue School CofE Primary overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 18.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join an after-school club, learn swimming and cycling, and study drums, piano, violin, brass, or guitar.
Getting in
The published school roll is 431 pupils against a stated capacity of 468. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about The Blue School CofE Primary
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are "happy and safe in this nurturing environment" and benefit from a "respectful school culture." Leaders have established an "ambitious" curriculum that is well-sequenced, allowing pupils to build knowledge securely and transfer skills effectively across subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils display "exemplary" behaviour, are "polite and welcoming," and bullying is "uncommon."
- The curriculum is "broad" and "ambitious for all pupils," including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- In mathematics, teachers structure learning so pupils build knowledge "securely and steadily" and use mathematical language "confidently."
- Staff feel "valued, supported and nurtured" by senior leaders, who actively work to reduce workload and promote well-being.
- Pupils are encouraged to contribute to the community, taking on meaningful leadership roles and participating in activities such as litter picking and visiting care homes.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure staff deliver the phonics programme as intended, specifically by correcting mispronunciations quickly and matching reading books consistently to the sounds pupils know.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders making appropriate referrals to external agencies to secure help for pupils at risk.
