Wohl Ilford Jewish Primary School

About Wohl Ilford Jewish Primary School

Wohl Ilford Jewish Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2011 and confirmed as unchanged in an ungraded inspection in December 2021. The school’s strongest academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 86 per cent. That figure sits comfortably above the Redbridge local authority average of 74 per cent for primary schools, and it places the school sixth out of 50 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 12 per cent locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top five per cent of all primary schools on this measure. The school’s Ofsted report notes that leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, are both Good, though early years provision was rated as Requires Improvement at the last graded inspection.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school performs particularly well in reading and maths. Ninety-three per cent of pupils met the expected standard in both subjects, with average scaled scores of 109 in each — above the national benchmark of 100. In writing, 86 per cent reached the expected standard, and 17 per cent achieved the higher standard. Maths also saw strong higher-level attainment, with 38 per cent of pupils reaching the higher standard, compared with 59 per cent in reading. The combined higher standard across all three subjects was seven per cent. 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 raw attainment figures are clearly strong, and the school’s ranking within the top five per cent nationally on the combined expected standard suggests consistently solid outcomes.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 54 applications for 30 places, with all 30 first-preference applicants offered a place, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. It has a nursery provision for children from age three, and the main school runs from Reception through to Year 6. Facilities include a gymnasium, ICT suite, library, forest school and chapel. The school offers a broad range of sports — cross country, swimming, cricket, rounders, football and tennis — and clubs such as film, science, coding, gardening, chess and drama. SEND provision covers moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. With its Jewish religious character and strong academic record, this school is likely to suit families who prioritise attainment and want a faith-based primary within a supportive, community-focused setting in Redbridge.
