About Roding Primary School

Roding Primary School sits within the Barking and Dagenham local authority, a London borough where state primary schools are numerous and varied. Among the 45 primary schools in the LA, Roding ranks 29th, placing it in the lower half of local schools. For context, the top-performing peers in the area are Rush Green Primary School, St Margarets CofE Primary School, and The St Teresa Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Grafton Primary School, just 1.4 kilometres away. Roding itself has held a Good rating across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded inspection in 2023, which confirmed the school remains Good. That consistency over time suggests stable leadership and teaching, even if the school doesn't reach the heights of its highest-ranked neighbours.
