Check the area around this school
32nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.7/10 against 4,195 of them, against 7.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The school maintains high expectations for achievement, with pupils performing well across the curriculum, particularly in reading and writing.
Strengths
- The approach to reading is a clear strength, with effective phonics support and specialist staff training enabling pupils to develop confidence and fluency.

Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, teaching does not consistently build on pupils’ prior knowledge, leading to gaps in knowledge or misconceptions.
