Sheringham Primary School
About Sheringham Primary School
Sheringham Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Newham when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes, which is a slightly surprising result given its Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 72%, just a whisker below the local authority average of 74% for primary schools. That places it 33rd out of 61 primaries in the borough, right around the median. Where it does pull ahead of the local norm is in maths: 85% of pupils hit the expected standard and 31% reached the higher standard, both comfortably above what you’d typically see across Newham. Reading and writing expected rates are 79% and 81% respectively, which are solid but not headline-grabbing. The school’s average scaled scores — 106 in maths and 104 in reading — are respectable too. So while Sheringham isn’t topping any league tables, its consistent performance across the board, paired with an Outstanding rating that only a minority of Newham primaries hold, makes it a reliable choice rather than a flashy one.
