About All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Great Oakley

All Saints Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Great Oakley, is a small state primary in Tendring, Essex, and its headline academic metrics sit noticeably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 32% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with an Essex average of 62% for primary schools. That gap of 30 percentage points places the school in the bottom 50 nationally, ranked 360th out of 444 primaries in the county. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: reading and maths average scores of 101 and 100 respectively are in line with the national benchmark of 100, yet the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in those subjects is low — 16% in reading and 11% in maths. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 21 applications for 12 places, suggesting local demand remains strong despite the academic picture.
