About Warren Primary School

Warren Primary School in Thurrock holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2019. The most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school continues to meet this standard, with inspectors noting that personal development and behaviour and attitudes are both Outstanding. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That is comfortably above the Thurrock local authority average of 67%, placing Warren 12th out of 39 primary schools in the borough and in the top 25% nationally. The school also achieved a combined score of 75 on the ranking metric used to compare schools, outperforming many of its local peers.

Digging into the individual subject results, the school’s strongest performance came in maths, where 85% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 106. In reading, 80% hit the expected level with an average score of 107, while 83% achieved the expected standard in writing. At the higher standard, 12% of pupils secured a high score across all three subjects, with maths again leading at 27%. The school does not publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. However, the overall attainment picture is solid, particularly given that only 7.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well below the national average, which suggests a relatively advantaged intake.

Warren is a three-form entry primary with a nursery, and it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26, there were 160 applications for 54 places, with 51 first-preference offers made. The school offers a wide range of facilities including a sensory room, forest school, art studios and a chapel, plus clubs such as coding, eco club and gardening. Sports provision covers rounders, athletics, netball and gymnastics. For children with additional needs, the school has a resourced provision and supports a broad spectrum of needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and physical disabilities. With its strong core results, Outstanding behaviour rating and good local reputation, Warren is a strong choice for families in Thurrock who want a well-run mainstream primary with a calm, purposeful atmosphere and plenty of enrichment opportunities.
