Check the area around this school
21st of 49 primary schools in Waltham Forest we can score, 51 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.9/10 against 4,266 of them, against 8.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage the current over-capacity status for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
What Ofsted said about Stoneydown Park School
Overview
Stoneydown Park School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong sense of community where pupils are "happy and confident." Leaders have designed a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that yields strong academic outcomes in core subjects, supported by effective early reading strategies and high-quality arts provision.
Strengths
- Pupils are "welcoming and friendly," treating each other with respect and behaving sensibly in class.
- The curriculum is "well thought through and sequenced," particularly in arts subjects like music, printmaking, and ceramics.
- Leaders prioritise early reading, providing "regular, high-quality support" to help weaker readers catch up.
- Teachers’ subject knowledge is "typically strong," with clear presentation of content and effective checks for understanding.
- The school offers a wide range of clubs, educational outings, and opportunities for pupil voice through the school council.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not delivered as coherently as intended, leaving gaps in pupils’ knowledge because teachers do not always identify and address misconceptions.
- Teaching adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are variable; leaders must ensure these are implemented consistently so these pupils build knowledge more securely.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders and staff taking responsibility for pupils’ safety, following up concerns swiftly, and providing therapeutic support such as gardening and art therapy.
