About Felmore Primary School

Felmore Primary School in Basildon holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its January 2023 graded inspection, every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good. The most telling academic metric for this 5-11 state primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the RWM measure). At 48%, this figure sits well below the Essex local authority average of 62%. The school’s ranking within Basildon reflects this: it places 33rd out of 39 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. Individual subject scores tell a similar story — 58% reached the expected standard in reading, 57% in maths, and 67% in writing — with only 8% of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects.
