Gwyn Jones Primary School at a glance

Located in London, Waltham Forest, Gwyn Jones Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 429 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 20.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Gwyn Jones Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 41 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.37 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.1%. There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. Gwyn Jones Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
