Check the area around this school
13th of 39 primary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score, 44 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 — 8.3/10 against 2,194 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Parsloes Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders and staff are “ambitious for all pupils” and expect them to achieve well. The curriculum is “well planned” and supports core values of aspiration and positivity, resulting in pupils who work hard and succeed in their learning.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well set out” and meets national ambition, with leaders carefully sequencing key concepts so pupils build knowledge in a “structured way”.

Areas to improve
