About George Carey Church of England Primary School

George Carey Church of England Primary School sits in the bottom half of Barking and Dagenham’s primary league table, ranked 32nd out of 39 schools in the local authority. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 54%, which is 11 percentage points below the LA average of 65%. That gap is significant and places the school in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. In reading and maths individually, 80% of pupils hit the expected standard in each subject, which is a solid showing. The real drag on the combined figure comes from writing, where only 56% reached the expected level, and from the very low proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects — just 2%. So while the school is clearly behind its local peers on the headline measure, its reading and maths results are broadly in line with what you’d hope to see.
