About St Andrew's CofE Primary School

St Andrew's CofE Primary School in Epping Forest posts a Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 64 per cent, which sits just above the Essex local authority average of 62 per cent for primary schools. That two-point gap is modest but meaningful, placing the school 191st out of 444 primary schools in the county. In the Epping Forest district specifically, the school ranks 7th out of 30 primaries on this metric, putting it in the top quarter of local schools. The school's reading average scaled score of 106 and maths average of 103 both suggest solid foundations, though the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2 per cent, which is notably low. This is a school that reliably gets most children to the expected level but doesn't push many beyond it, making it a steady rather than exceptional performer compared with its neighbours.
