13th 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 — 9.8/10 against 1,737 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 93 | 35% | 3.25 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Cleves Primary School
Overview
Cleves Primary School delivers an exceptional education where pupils, including those with special educational needs and disadvantaged backgrounds, achieve outcomes significantly above national averages. The report highlights a "relentless focus on securing foundational skills" and a curriculum deliberately designed around communication and language, resulting in pupils who are "exceptionally well prepared for their next stage of learning."
Strengths
- Pupils make "transformational progress" from their starting points, with disadvantaged pupils outperforming non-disadvantaged pupils nationally in reading, writing, and mathematics.
- Teachers possess "highly expert subject knowledge" and deliver the curriculum with "clarity and precision," anticipating misconceptions to prevent errors from persisting.
- Inclusion is exceptional, with "bespoke curriculum adaptations" and expert support ensuring pupils with complex barriers access the full curriculum and wider opportunities.
- Personal development is outstanding; pupils demonstrate maturity in discussing global issues, equality, and consent, and are described as "confident, compassionate and socially aware."
- Leadership shows "uncompromising ambition" for all pupils, underpinned by rigorous governance and strategic professional learning that keeps staff "valued and well supported."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should continue effective work to "secure and promote high attendance," intervening swiftly to reduce persistent absence, which remains above national averages despite improvements.
