Check the area around this school
14th of 39 primary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score, 44 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 — 7.8/10 against 3,042 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 41% | 3.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 26% | 1.31 |
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 Henry Green Primary School
Overview
Henry Green Primary School continues to be a good school where pupils are "safe and happy" and describe their experience as "special." Leaders have designed an "ambitious and broad curriculum" that ensures pupils are "well placed to make a strong start at secondary school."
Strengths
- The curriculum is carefully ordered so that "new learning builds on what pupils know already," allowing pupils to "successfully recall prior learning and can make links across different subjects."
- Staff prioritise reading for pleasure, with classrooms featuring "book corner[s] filled with high-quality texts" and effective phonics training.
- Pupils behave well, with "low-level disruption" being rare, and they are taught to treat others with "care and respect."
- Governors actively support leaders in ensuring "staff workload is manageable" and consider measures to support "staff well-being."
- Leaders promote wider development through opportunities to learn about "democracy" and global cultures, alongside a range of extra-curricular clubs.
Areas to improve
- Support for a small number of weaker readers is "not well organised," meaning these pupils do not catch up with their peers as quickly as they should.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with systems in place to check adult suitability, identify pupils needing early help, and provide regular staff training.
