Behaviour
Typical record 2025/26
Reading the numbers: higher figures below often mean a school records thoroughly and takes concerns seriously, rather than more incidents happening. A school reporting unusually low figures sometimes has a reporting gap rather than a problem-free intake. If a figure stands out, it's worth asking the school how it records.
- Data year: 2025/26
- Bullying incidents: 3
- Physical aggression / violence incidents: 41
- Child protection referrals: 8
- Safeguarding concerns: 570
- Racist incidents: 0
- Permanent exclusions: 0
Figures may show "<5" for some schools.

These are figures for all state primary schools in Redbridge, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.
