Mossford Green Primary School

About Mossford Green Primary School

Mossford Green Primary School sits in a competitive corner of Redbridge, and its headline Key Stage 2 results offer a mixed picture against the local authority average. While 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, that figure falls short of the Redbridge average of 74% for primary schools. That places the school 37th out of 53 similar schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom third locally. However, the story is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 82% of pupils reached the expected level, and in writing it was 80% — both solid figures. Maths was the weaker spot, with 76% hitting the expected mark. The school also achieved a reading average score of 107 and a maths average of 106, which are above the national benchmark of 100. So while the headline combined figure lags behind the LA average, the school is not struggling across the board; it’s a case of strong foundations with room to improve in maths.

Academically, Mossford Green’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good overall, with some standout areas. Behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision were all judged Outstanding — the highest possible grade. The quality of education and leadership and management were both rated Good, consistent with the school’s previous Good rating from 2015. At Key Stage 2, 18% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths, and 42% hit the higher mark in reading specifically. In maths, 36% reached the higher standard, and in writing it was 29%. The school’s national ranking for the combined expected standard places it in the 38th percentile, meaning it performs better than just over a third of primary schools nationally. In London, it sits in the 59th percentile, which is closer to the middle of the pack. These figures suggest a school that is reliably good rather than exceptional, with particular strengths in reading and personal development.

Mossford Green is a three-form entry primary with a nursery, and it is clearly popular: for 2025/26 entry, there were 139 applications for 50 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.78 applicants per place. Only 35 first-preference offers were made, so securing a spot is competitive. The school caters for a broad range of needs, with SEND provisions covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, social and emotional mental health, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. Facilities include an ICT suite, library, gymnasium, sports hall, music rooms, and playing fields. Sports on offer include football, cricket, swimming, athletics, tennis and dance, while clubs include coding, chess and film club. The school has a chapel on site, though its religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’. With a free school meals rate of 14.6%, the school serves a relatively mixed catchment. It suits families who value strong pastoral care and personal development alongside solid, if not top-tier, academic outcomes.
