Southend-on-Sea, SS2 5JN · Southend-on-Sea · primary school
13th of 27 primary schools in Southend-on-Sea we can score, 33 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 — 6.5/10 against 1,666 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 62% | 3.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in basketball, goalball, super sports, panathlon, and cricket. Trips include paddle boarding, raft building, obstacle courses, fencing, and low ropes. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 562 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 68 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the morning start due to the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to the 8.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of sports and trips with core academic time?
