Edinburgh Primary School
London, E17 8QR · Waltham Forest · primary school
41st of 49 primary schools in Waltham Forest we can score, 51 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 — 6.5/10 against 1,896 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 17.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a Tea Time Club and the Salaam Peace group. It also provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 153 pupils in a building with 630 places, leaving 477 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. How do teachers manage class sizes when the school operates at less than a quarter of its capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in literacy? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine for younger children?
