27th of 38 primary schools in Islington we can score, 39 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.0/10 against 499 of them, against 4.1/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 42% | 2.50 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 32% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
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 Vittoria Primary School
Overview
Vittoria Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy place" where pupils feel safe and behave sensibly. Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring pupils are well prepared for secondary school through a broad curriculum and strong support for those with additional needs.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a "wide range of activities," including visits, overnight experiences, and clubs, fostering positive interactions across year groups.
- Staff identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) quickly, providing tailored support such as extra adult assistance and resources.
- Teachers use clear sequences that build on prior learning, checking retention and providing prompt support so pupils "do not fall behind."
- Leaders prioritise staff well-being, taking steps to reduce workload, which contributes to a positive environment where staff "enjoy working in this school."
- The school offers numerous roles of responsibility, such as school councillors and eco councillors, giving pupils equal opportunities to participate and help others.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, planning lacks detail on what pupils need to know and remember in the long term to deepen learning over time.
- In a very few subjects, planning does not sufficiently consider how learning builds on the early years.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving effective training and swiftly identifying those who may need help.
