Thameside Primary School
Grays, RM17 6EF · Thurrock · primary school
39th of 39 primary schools in Thurrock we can score. 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 — 2.5/10 against 2,392 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 62% | 0.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
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, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.5 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. The school has 856 pupils in a capacity of 860, leaving just 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since 45.0% of pupils met the expected standard, what specific support is offered to children who are working below this benchmark? How does the school engage parents in monitoring progress given the significant difference from the national median?
