Performance Data

BPET is an educational charity which supports 12 primary schools across London and Berkshire. We are very proud of the academic rigour our schools follow, and the great outcome our pupils achieve through a rich and broad curriculum offer, taught with exciting approaches with reasoning and critical thinking at its heart.

Top schools in England 2025

The Times has published the top 1,000 highest performing state primary schools in England, with Deer Park School (39th, up from 161 last year), Rutherford House School (117), Whiteknights Primary School (609) and Braywick Court School (824) all recognised among the country’s highest‑performing schools in 2025.

Deer Park School was also ranked 14th in the School Guide’s Top 100 Primary Schools in England (2025). The list represents the highest-performing schools nationally, based on pupils’ attainment in the 2024 SATs across reading, writing, and maths.

Rutherford House School ranked in the Top 50 schools in England according to The Telegraph’s national rankings published in September 2025. The rankings use a scoring system based on the percentage of pupils achieving and exceeding the expected standard in reading, writing, and mathematics at Key Stage 2.

BPET is in the top 11% of all primary academy trusts as a combined average, being ranked 71 out of 626 academy trusts with three or more primary schools. Only 14 trusts ranked higher than BPET have the same number or more schools than BPET.

Parental survey results in 2025

Parental support for our schools has been and continues to be very strong. Here are our findings following our annual parents survey across all BPET schools:

• 93% of parents and carers strongly agree or agree that their child enjoys coming to school

• 90% of parents and carers strongly agree or agree that their school’s values and attitudes have a positive effect on their child

• 88% ranked their response as highly likely or likely to recommend their school to friends

Survey results are important to us and feed into our planning for future academic years, ensuring that our educational offer meets the needs of the communities we serve.

Top schools in England 2024

Last year, Deer Park School (161), Whiteknights Primary School (193) and Rutherford House School (214) have been mentioned in The Sunday Times top 500 primary schools list (2024). The list is made up by almost 3% of the 16,783 primaries in England, and takes into account pupils' attainment in the 2023 SATs (combined reading, writing and maths), as well as how well schools have helped the so-called “lost generation” to recover after Covid.
