About Roxeth Primary School

Roxeth Primary School sits within the Harrow local authority, a London borough with 41 primary schools, where it currently ranks 27th. Among its local peers, the top-performing schools are Krishna Avanti Primary School, St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, and St Anselm's Catholic Primary School, the latter being the nearest Outstanding-rated school just 0.7 km away. Roxeth itself holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2024, with inspectors noting that personal development is Outstanding. The school is led by headteacher Steven Deanus and caters to 405 pupils aged 4 to 11, operating just below its full capacity of 420. It is a non-denominational state school with no religious character, and it does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 191 applications for 60 places, with 43 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.18.

Academically, Roxeth's Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Harrow local authority average of 72%. In individual subjects, 88% reached the expected standard in both reading and maths, while 72% did so in writing. At the higher standard, 13% achieved in reading, writing and maths combined, with 43% reaching the higher standard in maths, 37% in reading, and 13% in writing. Average scaled scores were 108 in both reading and maths. Nationally, the school ranks 6,079 out of 13,686 primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, placing it in the 44th percentile. Within London, it sits at 1,050 out of 1,592 schools. Progress scores are not available for any of the three core subjects, so it is not possible to assess how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, music rooms, a forest school, a gymnasium, a sensory room, and a chapel. Sports on offer include rounders, athletics, football, cricket, and tennis, while clubs extend to art, coding, gardening, and film club. For pupils with special educational needs, Roxeth provides support for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, speech, language and communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, social, emotional and mental health needs, and other difficulties or disabilities. Parent View responses, based on 32 respondents between September 2024 and September 2025, show that 84% would recommend the school. Strong agreement was highest for pupil happiness (72% strongly agreed their child is happy) and safety (66% strongly agreed their child feels safe). However, a notable minority expressed dissatisfaction: 16% strongly disagreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively, and 13% disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly. This school will suit families who value a broad range of extracurricular activities and a strong focus on personal development, but who are comfortable with academic results that sit below the local average.
