Check the area around this school
73rd 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 — 8.4/10 against 4,190 of them, against 8.0/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Latton Green Primary Academy
Overview
Latton Green Primary Academy continues to be a good school, where pupils are "highly enthusiastic about their school and enjoy learning." The report highlights a positive culture where staff care deeply for pupils, who in turn treat each other with "politeness and respect." Leaders are determined for pupils to flourish, providing a curriculum that carefully develops foundational skills in English and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate strong behaviour, with bullying being "very rare" and students knowing how to keep themselves safe.
- Reading is celebrated, with "effective" phonics teaching ensuring weaker readers "catch up rapidly with their peers."
- Staff ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "successfully access the curriculum" and achieve well.
- Leaders provide rich personal development opportunities, such as the ‘fifty Things at Latton Green’ programme, fostering confident and curious pupils.
- Trustees and governors are "ambitious for the school," actively checking learning progress and ensuring legal duties are met.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teachers are "sufficiently well trained in all of the subjects that they teach," as some lack the subject knowledge to identify misconceptions.
- Leaders should review curriculum delivery in some subjects to ensure it is "sufficiently well sequenced" so that knowledge builds upon prior learning and gaps are avoided.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with "robust systems" in place to check staff appointments and support pupil well-being.
