About Kaizen Primary School

Kaizen Primary School in Newham was rated Outstanding across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a clean sweep that includes the quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. That rating is consistent with the school’s previous inspection in 2015, which also judged overall effectiveness as Outstanding. But the real story is in the exam data. At Key Stage 2, 88 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Newham local authority average of 74 per cent. That places Kaizen 7th out of 61 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 12 per cent locally, and 412th nationally out of nearly 14,000 primaries. The school’s ranking score of 88 earns it a top-5 tier classification, a strong signal for parents looking for consistent academic strength in a competitive London borough.
