About Atam Academy
Atam Academy’s Progress 8 score of 0.52 places it above the national average, but it sits slightly below the Redbridge local authority average of 0.59 for secondary schools. That gap is modest — roughly a tenth of a grade per subject — and the school’s overall banding is still classed as “well above average” nationally. In a borough where five out of twenty secondary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted, Atam holds a Good rating, which it earned in its most recent graded inspection in June 2024. That inspection marked a clear improvement from the previous one in 2022, when the school was judged to require improvement across most categories. The turnaround is notable: every area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management — moved up to Good. The school is also oversubscribed: for 49 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 118 applications, with only 16 first-preference offers made from 18 first-preference applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.41.
