Loxford School
Ilford, IG1 2UT · Redbridge · all-through school
5th of 19 secondary schools in Redbridge we can score. 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 — 9.5/10 against 918 of them, against 8.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 60.2 · 83 | 30% | 2.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.08 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.4 · 84 | 10% | 0.84 |
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, 60.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 54.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.08 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2023-12.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, attend Sports Days and a Swimming gala, and take instrumental and vocal lessons. Trips include the Year 3 Young VA trip, an Inclusion Trip to LEGOLAND, the Year 5 WonderDome Experience, and an Aqua Action outdoor water obstacle course. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 2819 pupils in a capacity of 3000 places, leaving 181 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for students aiming to raise their Progress 8 score? How does the school manage the transition for Year 11 students given the current capacity?
