Check the area around this school
17th of 49 primary schools in Havering we can score, 59 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 — 7.5/10 against 4,224 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.23 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.67 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

For the higher standard, the figure was 10.0% against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about Brady Primary School
Overview
Brady Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and caring school community" where pupils feel like they are "in one big family." Leaders maintain clear aims to support all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, in becoming "respectful and caring young citizens." The inspection confirms that the school provides a broad curriculum and effective support for pupil development.
Strengths
- Pupils are "enthusiastic about their learning" and enjoy "demanding work," with behaviour that does not disturb lessons.
- Leaders have implemented an "effective reading programme" with a consistent approach to phonics, ensuring pupils read independently by Year 2.
- Teachers in most subjects break new concepts into "small steps," helping pupils achieve well through carefully chosen activities.
- Leaders "quickly identify those pupils who may need additional help," including those with SEND, and engage outside agencies where necessary.
- Staff demonstrate "strong commitment to the school community" and support each other, with effective management of workload.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers are "not fully secure in their subject knowledge," affecting their confidence in delivering curriculum content.
- Leaders should ensure teachers’ subject knowledge is "consistently strong across all subjects" and deepen expertise in teaching the planned curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving up-to-date training and being "vigilant and aware of what to do if they have any safeguarding concerns."
