Check the area around this school
11th of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 64 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 — 9.2/10 against 2,443 of them, against 8.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Wood End Park Academy
Overview
Wood End Park Academy continues to be a good school, characterised by a warm community where pupils show happiness and kindness. Leaders maintain high expectations, resulting in pupils who are proud of their learning and demonstrate excellent behaviour. The curriculum is well-planned, with a strong emphasis on reading and support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils display "excellent behaviour" and take responsibility for their own conduct, with bullying being "not tolerated" and dealt with immediately.
- Leaders have developed a "well-planned curriculum" with consistent approaches, including regular opportunities for pupils to recap previous learning.
- A new phonics scheme has been successfully introduced, ensuring most pupils become "fluent readers" with effective support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with SEND are supported through targeted adaptations and extra resources, enabling them to "learn well" and build good relationships with adults.
- Staff receive training and support, with leaders caring about workload and well-being, while governors take these issues "seriously".
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teaching does not check what pupils know and understand effectively, meaning "pupils’ misunderstandings and mistakes are not identified and addressed quickly". The school should train teachers to address misconceptions in a timely manner.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff take responsibility, concerns are identified quickly, and pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe.
