Aylward Primary School
About Aylward Primary School
Aylward Primary School in Harrow holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. The most telling exam metric for this 3-11 mixed state primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 67% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Harrow local authority average of 72%, placing Aylward 23rd out of 38 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school ranks in the 38th percentile among all state primaries. The school has improved from a Requires Improvement rating in its previous graded inspection in 2014, so the overall trajectory is positive, even if the raw attainment is not among the highest locally.
