22nd of 39 primary schools in Thurrock we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,547 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Warren Primary School
Overview
Warren Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a respectful and supportive environment where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders have maintained a strong focus on learning despite recent changes, delivering an ambitious curriculum that helps pupils achieve well and develop as responsible citizens.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy school in a "respectful, kind and calm place" where relationships are "positive and supportive".
- Reading is taught well using "familiar resources and routines", helping pupils become "confident, keen readers".
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength, with leaders maintaining "high expectations" and providing appropriate support.
- Teachers are confident in delivering the curriculum due to effective staff training and support from leaders.
- Children in the early years receive a "good start to their education" with high expectations for behaviour and learning.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not established clear approaches for checking prior knowledge or defining the "precise knowledge that pupils need to remember".
- Leaders should ensure teachers are clear about the knowledge required to help pupils make progress in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring appropriate checks are made, staff are trained to identify concerns, and pupils learn how to keep themselves safe.
