Check the area around this school
47th of 51 primary schools in Brent we can score, 59 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 — 3.6/10 against 2,392 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Wykeham Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The proportion reaching the higher standard was 0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in
The published school roll is 449 pupils against a stated capacity of 449. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard in core subjects? What does a typical day look like for a child in the final year of primary education? How does the school manage class sizes when the roll is at full capacity?
What Ofsted said about Wykeham Primary School
Overview
Wykeham Primary School provides a "welcoming and nurturing environment" where pupils feel happy, safe, and well-supported. The inspection highlights a "positive school environment with a real sense of community," driven by warm relationships between staff, pupils, and families.
Strengths
- The curriculum is described as "broad and ambitious," with learning that is "well sequenced and assessed" to build on previous knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "flourish and achieve well" due to effective, targeted support and skilled staff adaptations.
- Behaviour is "positive," with pupils being "thoughtful, polite and well mannered," resulting in high attendance and low persistent absence rates.
- Personal development is "strong," preparing pupils for life in modern Britain through values such as "respect, tolerance and kindness."
- Governance is "strong," with leaders providing effective challenge and support, while staff feel "valued" and parents are "overwhelmingly positive."
Areas to improve
- Ensure staff implement the phonics programme "consistently well" to address inconsistencies in early reading and letter formation.
- Embed curricular aims fully in teaching across all subjects so pupils develop knowledge and skills to a "consistent standard."
- Improve safeguarding record-keeping to ensure it is "coherent and well organised," and ensure all staff understand reporting responsibilities.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, though the report notes weaknesses in record-keeping and staff uncertainty about reporting concerns, which the school is addressing by moving to a new system.
