Ravenscroft Primary School

About Ravenscroft Primary School

Ravenscroft Primary School sits in the London Borough of Newham, one of 68 primary schools in the local authority. It ranks 18th among them, placing it comfortably in the top third. The three highest-ranked primaries in Newham are Tollgate, Cleves and Rosetta, all of which sit above Ravenscroft in the local league table. Still, Ravenscroft is a strong performer in its own right and is one of 27 outstanding-rated primaries in the borough. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2025, awarded top marks across the board: outstanding for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That’s a notable upgrade from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated good. The school is led by headteacher Simon Bond and serves 514 pupils, with capacity for 630. Just under half of its pupils — 43.5 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the local demographic.
