About Upton Cross Primary School

Upton Cross Primary School in Newham holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2020, with inspectors noting that standards were maintained in an ungraded visit in 2025. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 53% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Newham local authority average of 74%, and places the school 60th out of 61 primary schools in the borough. In individual subjects, 74% of pupils reached the expected level in both maths and writing, while 68% did so in reading. However, only 1% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s ranking in the bottom 50 nationally on this metric suggests that stretching the most able children is a clear area for development.
