About schools in Redbridge

How many schools are there in Redbridge?
Redbridge has 94 open schools — 59 primary, 22 secondary, 5 special, teaching 59,357 pupils in total.
How many schools in Redbridge are rated Good or Outstanding?
66 of the 69 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 96% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 13 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 94: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Redbridge?
7.1 out of 10, averaged across the 83 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
Why do some Redbridge schools have no Ofsted rating?
25 schools in Redbridge currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
What does Redbridge local authority do?
A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Redbridge covers 94 schools and sits in the London region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
How many pupils in Redbridge are eligible for free school meals?
23.0% — 12,976 of 56,484 pupils at the 79 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
