St Osyth Church of England Primary School
Clacton-on-Sea, CO16 8PN · Essex · primary school
216th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 — 6.1/10 against 1,717 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join singing, crochet, and boardgames clubs, or participate in summer sports, cheerleading, and athletics. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 296 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 19 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading and writing given the gap to the national median? What are the specific times for the summer sports and cheerleading sessions? How do parents manage the lack of formal wraparound care before and after the school day?
