36th of 62 primary schools in Newham we can score, 66 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 — 9.0/10 against 1,984 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Grange Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this school, where staff and learners treat each other with "respect and kindness." Leaders maintain "high expectations" for behaviour, resulting in a "calm and orderly" environment where pupils are "enthusiastic about learning." The report highlights a strong focus on reading and a well-structured curriculum that prepares pupils for their next educational stage.
Strengths
- Reading is a clear priority, with staff using assessment data to teach phonics "consistently well" and ensuring pupils read books "matched to the sounds they have learned."
- The curriculum is "well-structured," with content broken down into "logical steps" to ensure pupils are "well prepared for the next stage of their education."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "supported effectively" to access learning alongside peers, with leaders working closely with parents and outside agencies.
- Personal, social, health and economic education is "well structured," helping pupils become "responsible and respectful citizens" who value others’ views.
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective," with a "strong culture of safeguarding" and robust checks on staff appointments.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, activities do not align closely with the knowledge and skills leaders intend pupils to learn, meaning pupils do not routinely apply their understanding.
- Leaders have not identified key vocabulary across the curriculum in some subjects, making it difficult for pupils to "articulate their knowledge and understanding" with accuracy.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective" and there is a "strong culture of safeguarding across the school."
