Mayfield School
Dagenham, RM8 1XE · Redbridge · secondary school
16th 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 — 6.5/10 against 485 of them, against 4.1/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 36.6 · 31 | 30% | 0.93 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.0 · 46 | 10% | 0.46 |
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, 36.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.0, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils performed as well as those nationally starting from the same point. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Advanced Maths, Business, Economics and Finance, Law, Medicine, and Science Societies. Trips include visits to NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre, Disney Parks, Wonderworks, and iFLY Indoor Skydiving.
Getting in. The school has 1790 pupils in a capacity of 1940, leaving 150 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 150 places available, how does the school manage class sizes across different year groups? Since the Progress 8 score is exactly 0, what specific strategies are used to support pupils who need to make additional progress? How do the academic societies integrate with the main curriculum to deepen subject knowledge?
