About William Bellamy Primary School

William Bellamy Primary School sits right on the Barking and Dagenham average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with 65% hitting that benchmark. That places it exactly in line with the local authority average for primary schools, which is also 65%. However, the school’s performance is notably stronger when you look at the higher standard: only 10% of its pupils achieved the higher threshold across all three subjects, which is a figure worth considering if you’re aiming for top-tier outcomes. In the local rankings, William Bellamy sits 19th out of 39 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the middle of the pack. It’s worth noting that the school is a large one, with 879 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,100, and it has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 27.7%.
