Hatfeild Primary School
About Hatfeild Primary School
Hatfeild Primary School in Merton has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, which took place in January 2025, awarded Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the picture is mixed. Half of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Merton local authority average of 68%. The school ranks 37th out of 42 primary schools in the borough on this measure, placing it in the bottom half locally. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: pupils achieved an average reading score of 106 and an average maths score of 104, both above the national benchmark of 100.
