About The Welldon Park Academy

The Welldon Park Academy has turned a significant corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a marked improvement from its previous inspection in 2018 when it was judged Inadequate. Every graded area now sits at Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This turnaround is the headline story here, but the exam data tells a more nuanced tale. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 54% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the Harrow local authority average of 72%, and it places the school 37th out of 38 primary schools in the borough. The school’s ranking score of 54 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, and in the 97th percentile within its own local authority — meaning only one school in Harrow performs worse on this metric.
