Roding Primary School
Dagenham, RM8 2XS · Barking and Dagenham · primary school
30th of 39 primary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score, 44 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,897 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Kindness Squad. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 892 pupils in a building with 1218 places, leaving 326 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What activities are available for children who finish their morning work early? How does the school plan to use the significant spare capacity to enhance the curriculum?
