Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
9.0/10 Well above average

16th 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 the 2,347 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2/10 among them, against 9.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2 out of 10 among them, against 9.0 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 856 pupils in a capacity of 872, leaving 16 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 16 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since the intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is provided to help pupils reach the higher standard?
