Check the area around this school
14th of 49 primary schools in Havering we can score, 59 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 — 8.3/10 against 3,405 of them, against 7.7/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Crowlands Primary School
Overview
Crowlands Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "warm and welcoming" environment where pupils are "happy and safe." Leaders have planned an "ambitious curriculum" that builds effectively on pupils’ starting points, with staff maintaining "very high expectations" for behaviour and achievement across all groups, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "high levels of respect" for the school community and engage fully in their learning, with behaviour described as "typically calm and sensible."
- The curriculum is well-structured, with "experienced and knowledgeable" subject leaders ensuring teachers have strong subject knowledge and clarity on how new learning builds upon previous knowledge.
- Reading is given "high priority," with staff delivering phonics with "accuracy and consistency" and providing closely matched books to support early readers.
- Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities receive "strong support," with teachers carefully adapting the curriculum to ensure they "achieve well."
- The school fosters a positive culture where staff appreciate the support they receive, and the governing body has "effective systems in place to hold leaders to account."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, staff do not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to "revisit and embed their prior learning," causing some pupils to struggle to recall essential knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
