Longshaw Primary Academy
London, E4 6LH · Waltham Forest · primary school
38th of 49 primary schools in Waltham Forest we can score, 51 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 — 7.7/10 against 1,996 of them, against 6.4/10 nationally. 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Eco, Gymnastics, Drama, Arts & Crafts, Street Dance, and Piano Clubs, as well as Football. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 217 pupils in a building with 459 places, leaving 242 spare places. 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 are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing such a large number of spare places?
