About Brentfield Primary School

Brentfield Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit comfortably above the Brent local authority average, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 65%. That five-point gap is a solid indicator that this school is delivering above the norm for its borough. The school ranks 20th out of 52 primary schools in Brent, placing it in the top 40% locally, and nationally it sits in the 30th percentile. While it’s not among the very top performers — the three highest-ranked peers in Brent all score 95 or above on the ranking metric — Brentfield is a reliable, above-average option for families who want a school that consistently meets expectations rather than chasing the very top tier.

Digging into the KS2 breakdown, the school’s strongest subject is reading, where 77% of pupils hit the expected standard and 23% reached the higher standard. Maths follows closely with 79% at expected and 15% at higher, while writing sits at 77% expected and 11% higher. The average scaled scores are 104 in reading and 103 in maths, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds from starting points, but the raw outcomes are respectable. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. The previous graded inspection in 2012 also awarded Good, and the 2022 ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains Good — a consistent track record over a decade.

Brentfield is a larger-than-average primary with 433 pupils against a capacity of 630, and it’s clearly popular: for 2025/26 entry, it received 82 applications for 41 places, with 37 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. The school has a nursery provision, so families can start from age two. Facilities include a sports hall, outdoor playground, forest school, art studios, playing fields and even a chapel. Sports on offer range from cricket and football to swimming and tennis, and clubs include choir, art, drama, book club, coding and chess. SEND provision is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional needs, speech and language, visual impairment and autistic spectrum disorder. With 41% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse, relatively disadvantaged community, and its above-average results suggest it’s doing well by them. This is a solid, dependable state primary for families in Brent who want a school that outperforms the local average without being among the most selective or high-pressure options.
