St Edward's Catholic Primary School
London, E13 9AX · Newham · primary school
36th of 63 primary schools in Newham we can score, 68 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 — 9.2/10 against 2,202 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Commonwealth Choir and School Council, attend multi-sports sessions, and take a trip to Rome in 2026. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 416 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 4 spare 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 the waitlist with only 4 places remaining? What specific support is provided for the 11.0% who do not reach the higher standard? How is the 2026 Rome trip funded for families?
