Thames View Junior School
Barking, IG11 0TR · Barking and Dagenham · primary school
10th of 39 primary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score, 44 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 — 7.5/10 against 2,312 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.20 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Chess, Cooking, Book, Lego, Henna, Maths Investigations, Board Games, and Creative Writing. Sports options include Boys and Girls Football, Boxing, Yoga, and Basketball, alongside an Entrepreneurs' Club. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 371 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 109 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 do teachers support the 11.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard to extend their learning? What specific activities are included in the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing classes smaller than its capacity?
