Check the area around this school
23rd of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 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 — 8.6/10 against 4,023 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Snaresbrook Primary School
Overview
Snaresbrook Primary School remains ‘good’, with evidence suggesting it could achieve ‘outstanding’ if a graded inspection were conducted. The school is described as a ‘kind’ environment where pupils are motivated by high expectations and supported by staff who foster confidence and achievement.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘highly ambitious’ and effectively builds knowledge, with staff regularly revisiting key concepts so pupils ‘remember facts and connect their learning over time’.

- Personal development is ‘meticulously planned’, offering diverse leadership roles and enriching trips that deepen pupils’ understanding of the world.

Areas to improve
