East Tilbury Primary School
East Tilbury, RM18 8SB · Thurrock · primary school
33rd of 39 primary schools in Thurrock we can score. 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 — 4.8/10 against 2,542 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join dance, mindfulness, and relaxation clubs, play football, netball, and multi-sports, and participate in choir and Thurrock Music Festivals. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 648 pupils in a capacity of 780, leaving 132 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. With 132 places available, how does the school maintain consistent class sizes and staffing levels? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is offered to pupils arriving early? How does the school plan to raise attainment from 56.0% towards the national median of 64%?
