Roe Green Junior School, London

Ofsted's report card from its 7 July 2026 inspection grades Roe Green Junior School on 6 areas: 1 expected standard and 5 needs attention. Report cards replaced single-word judgements in November 2025, on a five-point scale from exceptional to urgent improvement.

Attendance and behaviour - Expected standard. "Leaders have clear and effective systems and procedures in place to support pupils to attend school regularly."

Achievement - Needs attention. "Leaders are taking appropriate action to improve achievement."

Curriculum and teaching - Needs attention. "Senior leaders have a firm understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in the quality of curriculum and teaching."

Inclusion - Needs attention. "Leaders have only recently begun to put systems in place to identify pupils with barriers to their learning effectively."

Leadership and governance - Needs attention. "Several governors have recently left their positions."

Personal development and wellbeing - Needs attention. "The personal, social, health and relationships curriculum does not build pupils' knowledge over time effectively."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should continue to develop systems around the identification and monitoring of pupils with barriers to their learning, and build staff expertise to ensure that they routinely support pupils with a range of needs to access an ambitious curriculum"; "Leaders should develop staff subject knowledge and their understanding of how the curriculum in each subject builds on prior learning over time, using pupils' starting points to inform teaching"; "Leaders should raise achievement by developing staff's skills and expertise in checking for understanding, identifying gaps and addressing misconceptions before moving on with learning"; "Leaders should implement a personal development programme that builds pupils' knowledge over time and that supports pupils to develop a deep understanding of how to stay safe and healthy"; "Leaders should develop the skills and expertise of governors who can hold leaders to account effectively and ensure the school is moving in the right strategic direction".

In its own words: "Roe Green Junior school is a vibrant multi-cultural and multi-faith school situated on Princes Avenue, adjacent to Kingsbury High School and Roe Green Park. The school is on a shared site with Roe Green Infant school, most junior classes are on the 1st floor; with exception to Year 4 on the ground floor."
