About Clore Tikva School

Clore Tikva School in Redbridge was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2020, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in January 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 78% of pupils. That is four percentage points above the Redbridge local authority average of 74%, placing Clore Tikva 19th out of 50 primary schools in the borough. The school also performs well on the higher standard measure, with 9% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects. In reading, 36% of pupils achieved the higher standard, while in maths the figure was 34%. Average scaled scores of 108 in reading and 107 in maths are both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, reinforcing the picture of a school where most children are meeting or exceeding expectations.

Ofsted’s breakdown shows Good ratings across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a notable improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2017, when it was judged to require improvement overall, with leadership and management also rated as requires improvement. The parent view survey, based on 57 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, is overwhelmingly positive: 91% of parents would recommend the school. Strong agreement was particularly high for questions about happiness (74% strongly agree their child is happy), safety (72% strongly agree their child feels safe), and clubs and activities (82% strongly agree their child can take part). The school’s SEND provision draws a more mixed response — 50% of parents strongly agree that SEND children get the support they need, but 21% disagree, and 14% said they didn’t know.
