Star Primary School
London, E16 4NH · Newham · primary school
58th 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 — 6.3/10 against 2,146 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Festival of Voices and Newham Music Write a Song Showcase, and take trips to Outward Bound, for camping, on the Gruffalo Trail, and to York. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 557 pupils in a capacity of 710, leaving 153 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 does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 3.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school manage class sizes with 153 spare places?
