Check the area around this school
56th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 6.1/10 against 462 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Woodhill Primary School
Overview
Woodhill Primary School is described as “ambitious for all pupils,” where children “enjoy attending” and demonstrate “courteous, respectful” behaviour. The report highlights a “highly ambitious curriculum” that is “well sequenced” to build knowledge, particularly supporting those with low starting points or English as an additional language. While personal development is rated Outstanding, the overall effectiveness and quality of education are rated Good.
Strengths
- Pupils show “strong” relationships with staff and are “enthusiastic about their learning,” taking on roles such as “art ambassadors” and “peer mediators.”
- The curriculum is “well sequenced” and includes “special experiences” like residential visits and cultural events, helping pupils “make links between the content they learn.”
- Reading is “important and valued,” with early readers taught phonics to become “fluent readers” using “carefully chosen texts.”
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is “well-devised and comprehensive,” ensuring all pupils “access the same curriculum.”
- Pupils are “well prepared for their futures,” learning about different religions, traditions, and how to “stay safe, including online.”
Areas to improve
- Teaching does not “systematically check that pupils have understood the important content” before moving on, leading to “gaps in pupils’ knowledge” and unaddressed misconceptions.
- Leaders should ensure teaching checks pupils’ understanding of important content “securely before moving on to new concepts or more complex work.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
