About Avanti Court Primary School
Avanti Court Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 148 applications for just 57 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.6. Of those, 69 families put it as their first preference, and 52 of them were offered a spot. That kind of demand suggests parents who get a place tend to be pleased with what the school offers. While there is no formal parent survey data available, the high level of first-choice applications is a strong signal of confidence. The school is a state-funded Hindu faith primary in Redbridge, taking children from age 3 through to 11, and it currently has 623 pupils on roll, slightly below its capacity of 682.
Academically, Avanti Court performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Redbridge average of 74%. That places the school 12th out of 50 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 10% nationally. Results are particularly strong in reading, where 90% met expectations and 44% achieved a higher standard. Maths scores are also solid, with an average scaled score of 109 and 56% of pupils reaching the higher standard. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, and the quality of education, were both judged Good.
The school offers a broad range of facilities including a library, music rooms, a gymnasium and a dining hall, plus a chapel on site. Sports provision covers football, tennis, dance, cross country, gymnastics and cricket, and there are clubs for coding, chess, choir, gardening, art and eco activities. For families with children who have additional needs, Avanti Court supports a wide range of SEND provisions, including dyslexia, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder and physical disabilities. The school also has a nursery for three-year-olds. Given its strong academic results, high demand for places and Hindu faith character, this is a school that will particularly suit families looking for a values-led primary with a proven track record in the classroom.
