Mixed Primary
5.7/10 Broadly average

161st 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 4,078 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 67.0 · 57 62% 3.50
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 8.0 · 57 38% 2.19

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3 out of 10 among them, against 5.7 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a school with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity for new admissions? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the school maintain its performance relative to similar-intake schools?
