Check the area around this school
45th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 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 — 4.1/10 against 2,414 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 John Bramston Primary School
Overview
John Bramston Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "strong sense of community" and high expectations for all pupils. Leaders have designed a "broad and balanced curriculum" that helps pupils build on earlier learning, while staff demonstrate care and secure subject knowledge. The inspection confirms the school remains effective, with pupils described as "happy and feel safe" and eager to learn.
Strengths
- Leaders have created a welcoming environment where pupils are "polite and courteous" and feel they "always have someone they can talk to".
- The curriculum is carefully structured, with leaders considering "how knowledge and skills link together" to support long-term retention.
- Reading is prioritised with "consistently well" taught phonics, enabling even those who find reading difficult to become "confident and fluent readers".
- The school is "skilled at identifying pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities" and ensures they receive necessary support and inclusion.
- Staff morale is high, with leaders considering "staff’s workload and well-being" and governors maintaining a "clear vision for the future".
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, long gaps between lessons mean pupils have "gaps in their knowledge" and struggle to recall essential skills.
