Thames Park Secondary School
Grays, RM17 5FP · Thurrock · secondary school
4th of 11 secondary schools in Thurrock we can score, 13 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 — 8.1/10 against 815 of them, against 6.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 54.1 · 72 | 45% | 3.26 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.4 · 54 | 15% | 0.81 |
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, 54.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the DJ Club, attend Sports Day, and participate in the Winter Concert, school musicals, Battle of the Bands, and African drumming competitions. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 740 pupils in a building with 900 places, leaving 160 spare spots. 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 need extra help with English and maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
