Ormiston Rivers Academy
Burnham-on-Crouch, CM0 8QB · Essex · secondary school
59th of 78 secondary schools in Essex we can score, 81 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 the 860 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.0/10 among them, against 1.5/10 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 | 29.2 · 15 | 30% | 0.46 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.7 · 8 | 25% | 0.21 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 41.9 · 29 | 10% | 0.29 |
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, 29.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 41.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.7 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.0 out of 10 among them, against 1.5 out of 10 nationally. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Art Journalling, Music Tech, Textiles, Computing, Biteback Food Champions, Environmental Ecological Group, and Dance Troupe. Sports cover netball, football, rugby, cross country, athletics, and cricket. Arts and music features include a Gym & Dance Show, while trips include theatre visits and DofE field trips. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1077 pupils in a capacity of 1050, meaning it is over capacity by 27. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils whose Progress 8 score is below the national benchmark? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
