Check the area around this school
53rd of 62 primary schools in Newham we can score, 66 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 — 7.4/10 against 1,673 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Maryland Primary School
Overview
Maryland Primary School is described as a place with a "strong sense of community" where pupils are "incredibly kind and respectful." The report highlights that leaders have established a "well-structured curriculum" and that the provision for pupils’ personal development is "exemplary."
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exceptional" behaviour, with staff maintaining "high expectations" that ensure lessons are not disrupted.
- Reading is a priority, with staff well-trained in phonics and providing books "matched to the sounds that they know" to build fluency.
- The curriculum is broken down into "logical steps," allowing pupils to engage deeply with subjects, such as analysing William Morris’s artwork.
- Personal development is "exemplary," with school values woven throughout life and opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities like caring for school chickens.
- Staff feel supported by leaders, who prioritise manageable workloads and staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure strategies for pupils with education, health and care (EHC) plans are consistently enacted in lessons to support progress.
- In the early years, adults need to model language more effectively to extend children’s vocabulary and sentence structure.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well-trained, robust checks on appointments, and quick responses to concerns.
