Check the area around this school
20th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 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 — 9.1/10 against 3,494 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Mossford Green Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy and excited about their learning, with leaders providing an "ambitious curriculum" that makes education relevant. The report highlights that classes are "very calm and positive places to be," where pupils’ behaviour is "superb" and they show respect for one another.
Strengths
- Leaders provide an "ambitious curriculum" that is carefully sequenced to build on prior knowledge and includes key vocabulary across all subjects.
- Early years provision is excellent, with staff helping children develop speaking and listening skills effectively and supporting those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to manage emotions and access the full curriculum.
- Pupils enjoy a "wealth of personal development opportunities," including learning musical instruments, visiting local sites, and taking on leadership roles such as supporting younger pupils during playtimes.
- Staff maintain high expectations, ensuring behaviour is "exemplary" and teaching pupils to "respect and embrace their differences."
- A consistent approach to phonics and a "love of reading" are fostered through daily practice and a carefully selected range of texts.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure that curriculum changes "carefully take into account staff workload and well-being," as recent adjustments have led to increased workload for some staff.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a positive culture created where staff receive regular training and robust systems support vulnerable pupils.
