Roger Ascham Primary School
London, E17 5HU · Waltham Forest · primary school
15th 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 — 9.9/10 against 2,542 of them, against 9.5/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.79 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 26.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. 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 (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 407 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 73 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 do you support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What does a typical day look like for a child in your smallest classes? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2024 inspection?
