Rivenhall Church of England Primary School
Witham, CM8 3PQ · Essex · primary school
259th 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 the 4,220 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Impresario Dance Club, KS2 Gymnastics, Colchester United Football Club, or KS2 Dodgeball. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 123 pupils in a school with 140 places, leaving 17 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
