About Christchurch Primary School

Christchurch Primary School in Redbridge holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, but the detail is more interesting than the headline. The school was previously rated Outstanding overall in 2008, and while its overall effectiveness has settled at Good, inspectors still judged personal development to be Outstanding in the latest visit. Academically, the school’s key stage 2 results for 2023/24 tell a strong story: 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well above the Redbridge local authority average of 74%. That places Christchurch 10th out of 50 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 20% locally and the top 8% nationally. The school also ranks 260th out of 1,592 primary schools across London.
