Rosedale Primary School

About Rosedale Primary School

Rosedale Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 77% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to Hillingdon's average of 64%. That 13-point gap places the school in the top quarter of all primary schools in the borough, ranking 12th out of 55. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 88% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 86% in writing, while reading came in at 79%. At the higher standard, 41% of pupils achieved greater depth in maths, 34% in writing and 29% in reading. These figures suggest a school that is consistently delivering above the norm for its area, particularly in maths, where the average score of 107 is notably strong. The school's overall effectiveness was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good.

The school's Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the key stage 2 outcomes give a clear picture of academic strength. The average reading score of 106 and maths score of 107 both sit above the national average of 100, indicating that pupils are making solid progress from their starting points. In the local authority rankings, Rosedale sits in the top 25% nationally, with a percentile rank of 16.1, meaning it outperforms roughly 84% of primary schools across the country. The school's Ofsted breakdown shows that early years provision was rated Good, and the inspection report notes that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and quality of education were all areas that contributed to the overall Good judgement. With 18.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school is serving a community with above-average disadvantage, yet its results suggest it is effectively closing the gap for many of its pupils.
