Check the area around this school
18th of 49 primary schools in Havering we can score, 59 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 — 8.2/10 against 2,170 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 41% | 2.49 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 26% | 2.16 |
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 Oasis Academy Pinewood
Overview
Oasis Academy Pinewood continues to be a good school, where pupils feel safe and receive strong support from adults. The curriculum is described as "well organised and ambitious," fostering a positive environment where bullying is rare and students are confident in their learning.
Strengths
- Teachers have "high expectations" and know pupils well, encouraging them to "do their best" in focused lessons.
- Leaders have planned an "exciting curriculum" that teaches pupils about diversity and responsible citizenship.
- Reading is prioritised, with a carefully planned phonics programme and staff who are "skilful in using questions to check understanding."
- Staff are "quick to identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities," ensuring the curriculum is accessible for all.
- The school offers a "range of opportunities to broaden their learning," including drama events and national competitions.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not always "carefully check what pupils already know and can do," meaning some learning activities do not build on prior knowledge.
- Leaders should ensure staff use assessment more effectively so that lessons "build on and extend all pupils’ learning," preventing advanced pupils from being held back.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to identify concerns and leaders acting swiftly in collaboration with external agencies.
