West Ham Church Primary School
London, E15 3QG · Newham · primary school
63rd of 63 primary schools in Newham we can score, 68 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 — 3.8/10 against 2,250 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 40% | 0.39 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.43 |
| 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, 42.0% 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 March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Karate, Multi Sports, and Football Clubs, plus Year 6 Academic Mentoring and a Bagel club. Sports include basketball, swimming, and inter-house competitions. Trips visit the Tower of London, British Museum, and Mudchute Farm. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 273 pupils in a capacity of 375 places, leaving 102 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 does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities happen during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school use its current spare capacity to maintain small class sizes?
