Check the area around this school
52nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.3/10 against 3,977 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Wyborne Primary School
Overview
Wyborne Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong sense of community and high expectations. Pupils are described as happy, respectful, and engaged, benefiting from a well-sequenced curriculum and staff who know them well. The inspection confirms that the school provides a safe, supportive environment where children achieve highly and value their learning.
Strengths
- Staff create a positive atmosphere where pupils behave well and are respectful, with poor behaviour and bullying sorted out swiftly.
- Leaders have designed a well-sequenced curriculum, ensuring early years learning supports children effectively as they move to Year 1.
- Teachers use engaging methods, such as the ‘museum of everything’, to help pupils recall past learning with enthusiasm and understand complex concepts.
- Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified early and receive tailored support to access the planned curriculum.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders, who prioritise workload management and well-being through an ‘open-door’ policy.
Areas to improve
- Leaders’ oversight of the books pupils read at home is still developing; they must ensure materials match pupils’ reading abilities to accurately evaluate the reading curriculum’s impact.
- Some staff lack confidence in supporting reading development and phonics; leaders must address these training gaps to ensure consistent support for pupils’ progression.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being well trained, highly vigilant, and working closely with external services to keep pupils safe.
