About Cranbrook Primary School

Cranbrook Primary School sits within the London borough of Redbridge, a local authority with 53 primary schools where 12 currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 42nd out of those 50 primaries in the LA for its Key Stage 2 results, placing it in the bottom quarter locally. For context, the top-performing peers in the borough are Al-Noor Voluntary Aided Muslim Primary School, Cleveland Road Primary School, and St Bede's Catholic Primary School, each with ranking scores in the high 80s. Cranbrook's own ranking score of 64 reflects a more modest position. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Highlands Primary School, just 0.4 km away, which may be a consideration for families weighing their catchment options. Despite this local ranking, Cranbrook is a large school with 858 pupils on roll, operating close to its capacity of 944, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three.
