20th of 62 primary schools in Newham we can score, 66 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 — 9.6/10 against 1,761 of them, against 8.8/10 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 | 62% | 5.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 28.0 · 97 | 38% | 3.74 |
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 Ranelagh Primary School
Overview
Ranelagh Primary School is described as a “highly inclusive and welcoming” institution where pupils benefit from an “ambitious curriculum” and enjoy attending regularly. The report highlights “exemplary” behaviour and attitudes, alongside strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), creating a trusting environment between staff and pupils.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “ambitious and well designed,” with knowledge and skills “sequenced logically” to support successful understanding in most subjects.
- Behaviour is “exemplary” due to clear expectations that are “consistently applied,” resulting in calm lunchtimes and a friendly playground.
- Early years provision ensures children get off to a “great start,” being “well prepared for key stage 1” through play-based learning.
- The school prioritises nurturing a “love of reading,” using daily opportunities and community engagement to instil a “joy for books.”
- Staff provide effective support for SEND pupils, adapting learning so they can access the same curriculum as their peers wherever possible.
Areas to improve
- Teachers’ checks on learning do not consistently identify misconceptions, leading to unaddressed gaps in some pupils’ knowledge.
- Some aspects of the personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum have not been fully implemented, limiting pupils’ understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
