Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
6.8/10 Above average

13th 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 — 8.4/10 against 3,198 of them, against 7.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.7 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.

Getting in. There are 409 pupils in a school with 630 places, leaving 221 spare places. 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 does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the current class size impact individual attention compared to the school’s full capacity?
