About Rochford Primary and Nursery School

Rochford Primary and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in 2013, awarded a Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits ten percentage points above the local authority average of 62%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally, at the 25th percentile. Within the Rochford local authority, it ranks 12th out of 19 schools on this measure, with a ranking score of 72. The school’s capacity is 248 pupils, and it currently has 244 on roll, so it is running very close to full.
