About Millhouse Primary School

Millhouse Primary School in Basildon holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s key academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 51%. This is notably below the Essex local authority average of 62%, placing Millhouse 285th out of 444 primary schools in the county. In the Basildon local area specifically, the school ranks 30th out of 39 primaries. Looking at individual subjects, 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 69% in writing and 69% in maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects combined is just 6%, with maths and writing both at 14% and reading at 12%. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is difficult to assess how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points.
