Erith, DA8 1LE · Bexley · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.8/10 Broadly average

44th of 55 primary schools in Bexley we can score, 60 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 the 4,166 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 40% 1.56

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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1 out of 10 among them, against 4.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join French, Science, Choir, Musical Theatre, and Forest School clubs. Sports include gymnastics, ballet, dodgeball, multi sports, football, and modern dance. Trips comprise residentials in years 4 and 6, plus an outdoor adventurous activity day in year 5. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 438 pupils in a capacity of 446, leaving 8 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the year 5 outdoor day? How are the 8 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
