Check the area around this school
16th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 9.0/10 against 2,499 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.71 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.39 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Avanti Court Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school with a "calm atmosphere" where pupils are "incredibly respectful" and behave exceptionally well. Leaders have designed an "ambitious and well sequenced" curriculum in most subjects, resulting in strong teaching and good pupil progress. While the overall effectiveness is rated Good, specific areas regarding curriculum embedding and phonics instruction require refinement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "Outstanding" behaviour and attitudes, with bullying being "extremely rare" and not tolerated.
- The early years provision is rated "Outstanding," with staff having "high expectations" for all children, including those with special educational needs.
- Staff in well-led subjects explain concepts clearly, allowing pupils to "retain important knowledge and build on it over time."
- Reading is a clear priority, with "clear expectations" for daily phonics sessions and effective interventions for struggling readers.
- Staff feel valued, noting that leaders take steps to make their "workload manageable."
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is "not yet sufficiently well planned, sequenced and embedded in all subjects," particularly in history and geography, requiring leaders to identify key knowledge and provide subject-specific training.
- Not all adults focus on embedding phonics skills when reading with the lowest 20% of readers; leaders must clarify expectations to ensure staff encourage pupils to use agreed phonics strategies rather than discussing the text.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong safeguarding culture" across the school, rigorous procedures, and regular staff training.
