Check the area around this school
33rd 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 — 8.0/10 against 1,984 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Mayville Academy
Overview
Mayville Primary School is described as a place where pupils are expected to demonstrate values of "respect, honesty and care," resulting in a positive culture where they "behave well" and "feel safe." The report highlights that pupils "achieve well across the curriculum" and benefit from "caring interactions with adults," creating an environment where they enjoy attending school.
Strengths
- Reading is given high priority, with children taught from Reception using "consistent approaches" and books "carefully matched to the sounds and letters that pupils know."
- The school has designed a "broad, well-sequenced curriculum" where leaders have planned the "important knowledge, skills and vocabulary" pupils need to learn each year.
- Teachers possess "secure subject knowledge" and "explain concepts clearly," correcting misconceptions to ensure pupils understand new content.
- Pupils take pride in leadership roles, such as being "playground friends" or members of the "eco council," supporting younger pupils and the environment.
- Staff value initiatives supporting their well-being, and trustees have the skills to "challenge leaders" and ensure improvements have impact.
Areas to improve
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is not always effective, as "adaptations do not fully meet pupil’s individual needs."
- Strategies on some individual support plans are "not precise enough," meaning these pupils do not always learn the intended knowledge and skills.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
