Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School
Burnham-on-Crouch, CM0 8LG · Essex · primary school
20th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 — 8.8/10 against 2,853 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a Gardening Club and participate in netball, football, rugby, gymnastics, swimming, karate, Park Run, and dance. Trips include the Tutankhamun experience, Colchester Castle, and Braintree Museum. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics for families who need wraparound care, given there is no breakfast or after-school provision? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? How does the school ensure equitable access to the wide range of sports and trips for all 421 pupils?
