Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.4/10 Broadly average

119th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.8/10 against 3,067 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 71.0 · 68 40% 2.73

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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 12.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 105 pupils in a building with 140 places, leaving 35 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What does a typical day look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
