55th 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 — 6.9/10 against 1,976 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Pupils are described as happy and thriving in this popular school, where they feel safe, cared for, and proud of their diverse community. The school maintains high ambitions for achievement, with most pupils reaching age expectations and being well prepared for their next stage of learning. Leaders have established a clear vision, resulting in exemplary behaviour and strong personal development opportunities for all students.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is "exemplary," with children focusing intently in lessons and behaving politely and courteously to adults.

Areas to improve
- The school should support subject leaders further to ensure they can effectively monitor the impact of their plans on pupils’ outcomes.
