Frinton-on-Sea Primary School
Frinton-on-Sea, CO13 9LQ · Essex · primary school
331st of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 4,258 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.1/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir, gardening club, Gardening Friendship Group, and Creative Group. Sports include football, netball, tag rugby, cross country, tennis, rounders, athletics, and swimming. Musical instruments are also taught. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club operate.
Getting in. The school has 209 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place available, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? How does the curriculum support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the Gardening Friendship Group?
