About Bishop Winnington-Ingram CofE Primary School

Bishop Winnington-Ingram CofE Primary School in Hillingdon has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school's leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were each judged Good. This represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 50 per cent. That figure is below the Hillingdon local authority average of 64 per cent, placing the school 45th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, it sits in the bottom 50 per cent of schools for this measure.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the picture is mixed across individual subjects. In reading, 67 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 103, and 20 per cent reached the higher standard. Writing saw 77 per cent at the expected level and 23 per cent at the higher level. Maths was weaker, with 53 per cent at the expected standard and an average score of 102, while 17 per cent achieved the higher standard. Only 7 per cent of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds compared with pupils nationally. The school's ranking within London places it in the bottom 10 per cent of primary schools in the capital for the combined expected standard metric.
