About Green Dragon Primary School

Green Dragon Primary School’s headline KS2 metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — sits at 68%, two percentage points below the Hounslow local authority average of 70%. That places it 23rd out of 44 primary schools in the borough, right in the middle of the pack at the 52nd percentile. Nationally, it ranks in the 36th percentile. So while it’s not among the top performers — the three highest-scoring schools in Hounslow all achieve 89 or above on the ranking metric — it’s also not struggling. What stands out is that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged intake, with 35.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, so holding close to the LA average is a respectable outcome. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, Lionel Primary School, is 0.7 km away, but Green Dragon’s own Good rating is consistent across all five Ofsted categories.

Looking at the 2023/24 KS2 results in more detail, the picture is mixed. In maths, 90% of pupils met the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and the average scaled score was 106. Reading was a little lower, with 81% at the expected level and an average score of 105. Writing lagged behind, with only 71% reaching the expected standard, and just 7% reached the higher standard in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in October 2022, rated it Good overall, with all five inspected categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each judged Good. That’s a consistent picture of solid, reliable provision, and a step up from the previous 2016 inspection where early years provision was rated Requires Improvement.

Green Dragon is a three-form entry primary with a nursery, and it’s oversubscribed: for 60 places in 2025/26, there were 120 applications, with 42 first-preference offers made. That suggests strong local demand. The school has a broad range of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support. Facilities include playing fields, an ICT suite, a dining hall, an outdoor playground and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, football, cricket, swimming and dance, and there are clubs for gardening, film and science. For families in Hounslow looking for a well-regarded state primary that serves a diverse intake and offers solid SEND support, Green Dragon is a realistic and popular choice — just not one that tops the league tables.
