Headteacher: Mr Matthew Tranter
Age range: 3-11 years
Demand for places (Reception, September 2026): 43 families put it first for 48 places – 9 for every 10 places. Every one of them was offered a place. 3 of the 48 places went to families living outside the council area. Children putting it first, for every 10 places: 2023 9 · 2024 10 · 2025 7 · 2026 9
Sixth form: No
Intake: Mixed

Nursery provision: Yes

Who goes here

451 pupils out of 472 places At or near capacity

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 85
% eligible for free school meals: 19.9%
Pupil mix: 8 in 10 (similar to the Redbridge average)
English as an additional language: 48% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 15.6% a year (Redbridge 16.3%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 11% moved to another school, 89% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.

Supply and cover teaching

Classes taught mainly by supply or cover staff for half a term or more: <5 (a full term or more: <5)
Teaching posts vacant or only temporarily filled during the year: <5
Days of supply or agency teacher cover: 190
Data year: 2025/26 (from the school, under Freedom of Information)

Government figures only count teachers on contracts of 28 days or more, so a class covered by a run of supply teachers doesn't show up in them – which is why we ask schools directly.

Behaviour

Typical record 2025/26

About this Behaviour status

Based on real data requested under Freedom of Information, compared against other schools of the same type that have also responded - not a judgement on any single figure alone.

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: 5
Physical aggression / violence incidents: 33
Child protection referrals: 11
Safeguarding concerns: 204
Racist incidents: 5
Suspensions (fixed-term exclusions): 0
Permanent exclusions: 0

See the bullying figures for every school in Redbridge →

Figures may show "<5" for some schools.

What does "<5" mean?

A figure shown as "<5" means the real number is below 5 - the standard convention for this kind of data, used to avoid identifying individual pupils. Different schools may also record and define incidents differently, so read comparisons with care.

Behaviour ranking

Each school's score (out of 100) reflects how it compares to other schools in the area across all reported behaviour metrics — bullying, physical aggression, safeguarding referrals and racist incidents. A higher score means fewer reported incidents relative to peers. Ranked by real FOI-reported figures. Schools that have declined to provide this data sit at the bottom — refusing a legal request is treated as worse than any honestly-reported result.

Across Redbridge: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 6 (0.2 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

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.

Attendance

Overall absence: 5.0%
Persistently absent pupils: 9.6%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 14.6%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 4.4%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 32 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 13 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 10 pupils
Moderate learning difficulty: 6 pupils
Physical disability: 3 pupils

Most common needs - EHC Plan

About this Ofsted rating

Ofsted changed how it rates schools in the last couple of years, so ratings from different years aren't always on the same scale - that's why we show the year alongside every rating.

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
