About Whitehall Primary School

Whitehall Primary School sits slightly below the Waltham Forest local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a borough average of 74%. That marginal gap is worth noting, but the school’s broader picture is more nuanced. In maths, 88% of pupils met the expected standard and 48% achieved the higher standard, while in reading 82% met expectations and 52% reached the higher threshold. Writing is the relative weak spot, with 80% at expected and 32% at the higher level. The school’s average scaled scores of 109 in maths and 108 in reading are solid, and its ranking within Waltham Forest places it 27th out of 48 primary schools, just inside the top half. Nationally, it sits in the 24th percentile, which is respectable but not outstanding. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 graded it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2010.
