Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.1/10 Broadly average

206th 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 the 3,948 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.5/10 among them, against 5.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The school achieved a higher standard for 14.0% of pupils. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.5 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Languages Club and play Tag Rugby.

Getting in. The school has 99 pupils in a capacity of 113 places, leaving 14 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 fall below the expected standard in core subjects? What provisions are available for children who arrive late or leave early? How does the school engage parents in monitoring individual progress?
