Kingswood Primary School and Nursery
Basildon, SS16 5DE · Essex · primary school
148th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.4/10 against 4,221 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess Club, play football, netball, tennis, or basketball, and participate in Standout Theatre, Young Voices Choir, Rock Steady, Rock Bands, guitar tuition, vocal coaching, toots, and flutes. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 444 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 24. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 24 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the various music and theatre groups scheduled to avoid conflicts with core lessons?
