41st of 62 primary schools in Newham we can score, 66 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.7/10 against 1,562 of them, against 7.4/10 nationally. 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Avenue Primary School
Overview
Avenue Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and caring school where everyone is respected." The institution fosters a positive environment where pupils are "courteous and polite," with strong outcomes in national assessments for reading, writing, and mathematics.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and tailored to the needs of all pupils," with an "ambitious and carefully planned" structure that ensures new learning builds effectively on previous knowledge.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff are "well trained in the delivery of the phonics scheme" and quickly identify pupils falling behind, resulting in pupils developing a "love of reading."
- Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), "achieve well" due to teachers’ "strong subject knowledge" and effective additional support.
- Attendance is a "high priority," with "robust" monitoring systems and swift follow-ups for regular absences helping to improve rates.
- The governing body "monitors the work of the school to support and challenge effectively," while pupils enjoy "many wider opportunities" such as cultural days and educational visits.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, approaches to checking pupils’ understanding are "not fully developed" and do not support teachers well enough in identifying gaps in knowledge.
- The school should refine assessment approaches in these subjects so that pupils can be "better supported to know more and remember more."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
