Sybourn Primary School
London, E17 8HA · Waltham Forest · primary school
12th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.7/10 against 1,992 of them, against 9.1/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 31.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Board Games, Computing, Book Club, Lego Club, Creative Club, Tasty Treats, and Spanish/Languages. Sports options cover Table Tennis, Boy's Football, Netball, and Girl's Football, while arts activities include Choir and Signing. Year 6 pupils take a PGL Educational Visit. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 516 pupils in a building with 630 places, leaving 114 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 offered to help pupils progress from the expected to the higher standard? How does the school manage class sizes given the current number of spare places?
