About Becontree Primary School

Becontree Primary School’s headline KS2 result sits slightly below the Barking and Dagenham average, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths against a local authority average of 65%. That places it 21st out of 39 primary schools in the borough, or just inside the top half. The gap is narrow, and the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent inspection in 2023, suggests solid foundations. Where Becontree does stand out is in maths: 78% of pupils hit the expected standard and 33% reached the higher standard, both figures that look healthy against the national picture. Reading and writing expected rates are 72% and 73% respectively, so the school is consistent across the core subjects, even if the combined headline figure trails the LA average by a couple of percentage points.
