36th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 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 — 6.3/10 against 2,880 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 38% | 3.28 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
