About Lift Plumberow

Lift Plumberow’s headline metrics sit comfortably above the Essex local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62 per cent, Lift Plumberow achieves 77 per cent — a clear 15-point advantage. That gap is consistent across individual subjects too: 80 per cent of pupils meet the expected standard in reading (against a likely lower LA average), 87 per cent in maths, and 91 per cent in writing. The school also pushes a notable proportion of pupils into the higher standard, with 41 per cent reaching that level in reading, 39 per cent in writing and 36 per cent in maths. In the Rochford district, this performance places the school 9th out of 19 primaries, and it ranks in the top 25 per cent nationally for the combined expected standard metric. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good was reaffirmed in an ungraded inspection in January 2024, with leadership and management also judged Good.
