Frederick Bremer School
London, E17 4EY · Waltham Forest · secondary school
9th of 17 secondary schools in Waltham Forest 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 — 6.7/10 against 644 of them, against 4.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.1 · 59 | 30% | 1.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.25 · 31 | 25% | 0.77 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.7 · 56 | 10% | 0.56 |
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. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024. In 2024/25, 47.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.25 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge, play netball and football, perform in Playing Shakespeare, and attend the Globe Theatre Panel Event.
Getting in. There are 888 pupils in a school with 900 places, leaving 12 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 12 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new intakes? Since the Progress 8 score is below 0, what specific support is offered to pupils who are falling behind in their subjects? How does the school engage parents in monitoring their child’s progress between formal reporting periods?
