About Tilbury Pioneer Academy

Tilbury Pioneer Academy has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2013. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2017 awarded Good across the board, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it 'remains Good'. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 54% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Thurrock local authority average of 67%, placing the school 33rd out of 39 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, it falls in the bottom 50% of all primary schools, sitting at the 70th percentile. The school's overall ranking score of 54 reflects this middling performance, though it's worth noting that individual subject results tell a slightly more nuanced story.
