Check the area around this school
43rd of 49 primary schools in Haringey we can score, 60 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 — 8.2/10 against 719 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Welbourne Primary School
Overview
Welbourne Primary School is described as a place where pupils feel safe, valued, and motivated, supported by a "strong ethos of kindness, respect and aspiration." Leaders have established a "coherent and evidence-informed professional learning programme" and a "broad and ambitious curriculum," ensuring disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs make progress in line with their starting points. However, the report highlights that attendance remains below the national average and that teaching quality is inconsistent for some pupils who find learning difficult.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility."
- Pupils benefit from a "thoughtfully designed programme" for personal development, including peer mentoring and discussions on fairness.
- Leaders provide "purposeful and proportionate" challenge and support, prioritising the best interests of vulnerable pupils.
- The provision for 2- and 3-year-olds is a "particular strength," with stimulating activities promoting curiosity.
- Staff wellbeing is considered when planning initiatives, balancing "ambition with practical support."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure classroom support for pupils with special educational needs is implemented consistently across all classes.
- Teaching must focus precisely on what pupils need to learn to ensure knowledge is "manageable, well sequenced" and securely built.
- Leaders should strengthen work with parents to improve attendance, which is currently "lower than leaders would wish."
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," confirming that leaders have established an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed, ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
