Check the area around this school
40th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.8/10 against 2,784 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.69 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Crownfield Junior School
Overview
Crownfield Junior School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as “kind, polite and hard-working.” Leaders have designed a “carefully thought-out curriculum” that is broad and balanced, ensuring pupils develop a “rich body of knowledge” and feel safe and supported.
Strengths
- Pupils are “cooperative and respectful,” knowing that “unkind language is not acceptable” and feeling very safe.
- The curriculum is enriched by visits to places of interest and a wide range of clubs, including sporting activities and arts.
- Leaders are “ambitious for all pupils,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are “very well supported.”
- Reading is prioritised through a “very well-resourced library” and careful selection of books reflecting the modern world.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders, who prioritise their well-being and provide regular training.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure teachers select activities that “more consistently help pupils to learn the intended curriculum” to prevent gaps in knowledge.
- Leaders should ensure the personal development programme is carefully considered so pupils receive information about healthy relationships in a “timely and age-appropriate way.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with an “established and dedicated team” well placed to respond to concerns and leaders being “tenacious in securing support for the most vulnerable pupils.”
