About East Tilbury Primary School

Around 648 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 56% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 8.0 percentage points year on year.

Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 22.0 pupils per teacher. East Tilbury 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
