Check the area around this school
34th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.0/10 against 3,892 of them, against 6.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Redbridge Primary School
Overview
Redbridge Primary School is judged ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, marking a change from its previous ‘Outstanding’ rating. The report describes a school where pupils are encouraged to ‘dream big, work hard and be kind’, benefiting from a ‘nurturing and caring environment’ and high-quality staff support. Leaders have set a clear strategic vision, resulting in pupils who typically achieve well and display positive attitudes towards their learning.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, with bullying being ‘rare and quickly resolved’, and they feel ‘secure and safe’.
- Staff receive ‘high-quality professional development’ and excellent support, particularly those at the start of their careers.
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious’ for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Reading is prioritised with ‘systematic’ phonics teaching, ensuring books ‘closely match the sounds that they know’.
- Governors provide ‘highly effective challenge and support’ to school leaders through regular monitoring.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, work does not ‘build well on prior learning’, preventing pupils from developing knowledge ‘cumulatively’.
- Support for pupils with SEND sometimes ‘lacks precision’, meaning the curriculum they study is not always as ‘ambitious or as broad’ as for their peers.
- Activities in the early years do not always ‘match the expectations of the planned curriculum’.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
