About William Davies Primary School

William Davies Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Newham, London, serving children aged 3 to 11 under headteacher Sally Norris. It sits at rank 61 out of 61 primary schools in the borough, placing it at the very bottom of Newham’s local league table. For context, the top-performing local peers are Tollgate Primary School, Cleves Primary School, and Rosetta Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric.

William Davies itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good.
