Ravens Academy
Clacton-on-Sea, CO16 8TZ · Essex · primary school
344th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 — 2.5/10 against 214 of 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 41.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 302 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 92. Places are competitive because the school exceeds its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the significant over-capacity situation for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? How does the school ensure individual progress for the small percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard?
