14th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.9/10 against 2,539 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Weald Rise Primary School
Overview
Weald Rise Primary School continues to be a good school, described as an “inclusive learning community” where pupils from diverse backgrounds are well supported. The report highlights that pupils enjoy school, behave incredibly well, and are taught to be kind, with bullying being rare. Leaders are ambitious, providing a high-quality education with a clearly sequenced curriculum that prepares pupils for their next stage of education.
Strengths
- Pupils are “caring towards one another,” with older pupils acting as peer mediators to support younger children.
- The curriculum is “clearly sequenced and well-planned,” particularly in mathematics, where pupils regularly recall previous learning to build confidence.
- Leaders give “high priority to reading,” with a strong reading culture and effective phonics teaching that includes extra sessions for those at risk of falling behind.
- Staff provide well for pupils with SEND, ensuring they access the same curriculum through skilled identification of needs and appropriate adaptations.
- Teachers feel valued, with leaders mindful of workload and well-being, while the governing body provides effective support and challenge.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, curriculum design is relatively new, meaning pupils’ knowledge has not deepened as well as in others; leaders should maintain focus on building detailed knowledge across all subjects.
- There are inconsistencies in staff modelling of phonics sounds; leaders should implement plans to address instances where sounds are not pronounced clearly and precisely.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders following up concerns quickly while working closely with other agencies.
