Check the area around this school
33rd 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 the 3,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Engayne Primary School
Overview
Engayne Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy attending and feel safe due to positive relationships and vigilant staff. The curriculum is ambitious and well-structured, ensuring pupils achieve well and are prepared for the next stage of their education, with a strong emphasis on reading and character development.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and safe" because staff are "vigilant" and deal with concerns appropriately, fostering "positive relationships" at the centre of school life.
- Teachers "inspire pupils" to have high aspirations, with "excellent" behaviour in lessons where pupils remain "highly focused on their learning".
- The curriculum sets out "key knowledge and skills" in "small, well-ordered steps," helping pupils "make links in their learning and deepen their understanding".
- There is a "well-structured reading curriculum" where staff are "well trained to deliver the phonics programme to a high quality" and provide swift support when pupils struggle.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same curriculum as their peers through "early identification and precisely targeted additional help".
Areas to improve
- Assessment approaches in some foundation subjects are "still being developed," meaning teachers and leaders do not always have a clear understanding of how well pupils are learning or where misconceptions arise. Leaders should refine these approaches to "address any gaps in their learning".
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
