Check the area around this school
27th of 62 primary schools in Newham we can score, 66 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.8/10 against 1,596 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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 Salisbury Primary School
Overview
Salisbury Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and inclusive" environment where leaders set high expectations. Pupils are "focused and engaged in lessons," resulting in excellent behaviour and high achievement. The school fosters a welcoming community where pupils develop a rich understanding of diverse cultures and take pride in their responsibilities.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "excellent," with pupils being "enthusiastic about their learning" and achieving highly.
- The curriculum is "carefully sequenced," helping pupils build depth of knowledge over time, particularly in subjects like religious education.
- Reading is a priority with "strong outcomes," supported by consistent phonics delivery and resources for parents.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "very well supported," learning alongside peers with targeted assistance.
- There is a "calm atmosphere" with clear routines, and staff are proud of the "strong and supportive culture" within the school.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must ensure they "check systematically that pupils are clear about what they need to do" before attempting tasks to prevent lost learning time.
- Activities should be designed to build on "knowledge that pupils have already learned" to avoid guesswork and misconceptions.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with pupils knowing adults take great care of them and feeling responsible for reporting concerns.
