About The Leys Primary School

The Leys Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is two percentage points higher than the Barking and Dagenham average of 65% for primary schools, placing it 18th out of 39 similar schools in the borough. The school’s overall ranking puts it in the top half nationally, at the 40th percentile. Where it really stands out is in maths: 76% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average maths score of 105 is solid. Reading and writing both hit 74% and 76% respectively at the expected level. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is 6%, which is modest but not unusual for a state primary. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2012, with leadership and management also judged Good.
