Check the area around this school
334th of 391 primary schools in Essex we can score, 444 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 the 3,508 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 1.9/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.74 |
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 Wyburns Primary School
Overview
Wyburns Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a caring community where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders have established a well-planned curriculum that allows pupils to build on prior knowledge, supported by staff who are well-trained and enthusiastic. The inspection confirms that standards remain high, with effective safeguarding arrangements and strong governance.
Strengths
- Pupils value the school community, demonstrating kindness through initiatives like acting as ‘green hats’ to help younger children.
- The curriculum is well-structured, ensuring pupils study a broad range of subjects and build new learning on what they already know.
- Staff deliver the curriculum effectively, checking understanding before moving on and providing extra help when needed.
- Reading is taught rigorously from Reception, with regular checks helping leaders identify gaps and provide precise support.
- Leaders work closely with external professionals to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities from the early years.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all staff deliver vocabulary teaching as fully intended, as some explanations are currently overly simplistic and limit pupils’ rich understanding.
- Additional support for a small group of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, must be more sharply focused to help them catch up quickly.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are well trained to identify risks and report concerns promptly.
