Check the area around this school
50th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.6/10 against 1,087 of them, against 0.8/10 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 | 37.0 · 6 | 40% | 0.24 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
The Kilburn Park School Foundation overview
How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 0.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.8 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about The Kilburn Park School Foundation
Overview
The Kilburn Park School Foundation has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils describe the school as a safe, welcoming community where they feel like part of a ‘big family’, supported by kind and supportive staff. The school continues to provide a high-quality education with strong attendance and effective support for all learners.
Strengths
- Pupils ‘love coming to this school’ and benefit from a ‘warm and welcoming atmosphere’ where they are ‘polite, respectful and considerate’.
- The curriculum is ‘well organised’ and ‘delivered effectively’, allowing pupils to ‘build on their prior learning securely’ and achieve well across subjects.
- Leaders identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) ‘promptly and accurately’, providing effective support including therapy-based activities.
- The school ‘prioritises reading’, ensuring those falling behind receive support to ‘catch up quickly’, while staff read to pupils regularly.
- Attendance is strong, with leaders acting quickly to address absences and working closely with families and external agencies.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure pupils learn and apply subject-specific vocabulary accurately and confidently, as unclear understanding currently ‘lessens the depth of pupils’ knowledge and understanding in some subjects’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
