About Selwyn Primary School

Selwyn Primary School sits in a competitive Newham primary landscape, and its headline Key Stage 2 results offer a mixed picture against the local authority average. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 72%, just two percentage points below the Newham average of 74%. That is a solid, if not standout, result for a school where 38% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Where Selwyn really pulls ahead is in the higher standard: 22% of its pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, a figure that suggests strong stretch for more able children. In maths specifically, 38% of pupils hit the higher standard, and the average maths score of 108 is comfortably above the national baseline of 100. The school ranks 34th out of 61 primaries in Newham on the expected standard metric, placing it in the middle of the pack locally but within the top 50% nationally.
