62 of 69 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Newham schools · secondary schools

Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school.

52 of 69 rated Good or Outstanding
7 oversubscribed on first preference
10 Good or better and undersubscribed — the overlooked ones
Median Met expected standard (RWM): 77.0% (best 97.0%)
