Best primary schools in Essex

391 of 460 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Essex schools · secondary schools

69 further primary schools with no published Met expected standard (RWM) for the latest year — usually too small a cohort to report, newly opened, or a special school. Listed because leaving them out would make this a misleading picture of Essex, not a fairer one.

Applying in Essex

Knowing which school is best is only half of it — these are the deadlines that decide whether you can apply at all.

Rankings compare published results. They do not tell you which school your child will get into — that depends on where you live, sibling and faith priority, and how many people apply this year. Ask below, or check the Essex admission criteria.
