About Oakdale Junior School

Oakdale Junior School sits in Redbridge, a London borough where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 74%. Oakdale's figure of 67% sits seven percentage points below that LA average, which is a meaningful gap. In the local authority ranking of 50 primary schools, Oakdale places 36th, putting it in the bottom third of its peers. That said, the school's average maths scaled score of 107 is a solid result, and its reading average of 105 is also above the national benchmark of 100. So while the headline 'expected standard' figure lags the local norm, the school is still delivering above-average outcomes in the core subjects for many of its pupils. With 24.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, Oakdale serves a community with above-average disadvantage, which provides important context for those headline numbers.
