Riverley Primary School
London, E10 7BZ · Waltham Forest · primary school
9th of 49 primary schools in Waltham Forest we can score, 51 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 — 9.8/10 against 3,198 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 26.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.41 |
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, 84.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 26.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for gardening, chess, cooking, textiles, robotics, engineering, technology, and citizenship, plus First Lego League. Sports include football, handball, curling, basketball, infant agility, and track and field. Arts features instrumental tuition, spring and winter recitals, a staff pantomime, and the Griffin Arts Festival. Trips include a Year 6 residential, Go Ape, and Forest School. An after-school club exists, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 450 pupils in a school with 450 places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 450 available places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
