Check the area around this school
47th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.4/10 against 3,211 of them, against 3.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 62% | 2.55 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Newbury Park Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Newbury Park Primary School “enjoy learning” and “thrive” within a calm, orderly environment where they feel safe. The inspection awarded ‘Good’ across all key judgement areas, including the quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and leadership. Leaders have recently implemented ambitious curriculum changes that are already having a positive impact on pupil achievement.
Strengths
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is “very effective”, ensuring they access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Reading is a clear priority; the phonics curriculum is “taught effectively by well-trained staff”, with books carefully matched to pupils’ known sounds.
- Attendance is “above the national average and improving” due to robust systems and clear messaging from staff.
- Pupils demonstrate high expectations for behaviour, showing respect and resolving issues quickly, with bullying described as “rare”.
- Staff build “strong relationships” with pupils, fostering a sense of belonging and pride in the school community.
Areas to improve
- Assessment is “not used consistently” to check understanding, leading to gaps in knowledge; the school must ensure assessment identifies and addresses misconceptions.
- Opportunities to “nurture, develop and stretch pupils’ talents and interests are not well developed”, requiring more considered provision.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
