About Plaistow Primary School

Plaistow Primary School in Newham holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail behind that grade tells a more interesting story. Inspectors awarded Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education and leadership and management were both rated Good. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the Newham local authority average of 74%, placing the school 36th out of 61 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the top 70% of all primary schools, which is a solid mid-table position for a school serving a diverse and relatively disadvantaged community.
