About Benyon Primary School
Benyon Primary School is a primary school in South Ockendon, Thurrock, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 424 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 31.0 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 among the top 12% of primary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 15% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Benyon Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 32 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 24.3 pupils per teacher. Benyon 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.
