Ilford, IG1 2WS · Redbridge · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
6.7/10 Above average

28th of 49 primary schools in Redbridge we can score, 52 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 — 8.7/10 against 2,357 of them, against 7.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 75.0 · 78 40% 3.11

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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.5 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Judo, Multi-sports, Gymnastics, Soft Archery, Arts & Crafts, Dance, Creative, and Lego clubs. Sports include Netball, Football, and Cricket, while arts and music options are Rock Steady and Piano Fun Club. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 613 pupils in a capacity of 678, leaving 65 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Creative Club? How does the breakfast club operate on days with early morning trips?
