About Deneholm Primary School

Deneholm Primary School in Thurrock was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2018, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed that the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 58% in the 2023/24 results. That is below the Thurrock local authority average of 67%, placing Deneholm 28th out of 39 primary schools in the area. The school’s national ranking for this measure is in the bottom half of all primary schools. However, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 71% did so in maths, with average scaled scores of 103 in reading and 102 in maths.
