Abbots Hall Primary School
Stanford-le-Hope, SS17 7BW · Thurrock · primary school
21st of 39 primary schools in Thurrock we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.1/10 against 3,672 of them, against 5.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a Forest School club and a Year 6 residential trip. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 416 pupils in a building with 270 places, meaning it is over capacity by 146. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the significant overcapacity in daily operations? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How is the Forest School curriculum integrated into the wider timetable?
