Check the area around this school
7th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.9/10 against 1,188 of them, against 9.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.78 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
