Check the area around this school
7th of 49 primary schools in Havering we can score, 59 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 — 9.2/10 against 4,107 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 41% | 3.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.73 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 26% | 2.36 |
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 La Salette Catholic Primary School
Overview
La Salette Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders and staff encourage pupils to be ambitious in their learning. Pupils respond well to high expectations, work hard in lessons, and develop knowledge effectively in most subjects. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils behave well, show respect, and feel safe.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," with leaders planning for pupils to build knowledge and make links between subjects.
- Pupils behave well, with bullying being rare; leaders deal with any incidents quickly and ensure pupils know who to talk to.
- Reading is typically taught well, with staff providing many opportunities for pupils to read regularly and use their phonics knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified quickly and receive adapted support to access the full curriculum.
- The governing body supports and challenges leaders effectively, sharing a common vision and high expectations.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should provide ongoing support to ensure all staff feel fully confident in delivering the recently introduced early reading programme.
- In subjects such as history and geography, the curriculum should focus more on helping pupils securely recall prior learning to link it with new ideas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, underpinned by a strong culture where staff report concerns quickly and pupils are taught to recognise risks and keep themselves safe.
