Rush Green Primary School
About Rush Green Primary School
Rush Green Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2025, awarded it Outstanding grades across every category judged — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That’s a notable step up from its previous Good rating in 2014, and it places the school among just four Outstanding primaries in Barking and Dagenham’s 45-state-primary landscape. But the headline exam metric tells an even sharper story: 89% of its Year 6 pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That’s well above the local authority average of 65% and helped Rush Green rank first out of 39 primary schools in Barking and Dagenham. Nationally, it sits in the top 3% of all primary schools on this measure, and within London it ranks in the top 6%.
