Against London and Barking and Dagenham
Track: London's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = London median; B = Barking and Dagenham median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.
London state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).
Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the London median, red = in London's worst 10%.
Money: Compared only with maintained schools' accounts (CFR), same financial year.
Results
England rank: Key stage 2: % of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; ties broken by % at the higher standard. Ranked among 15,057 primaries in England, 2024/25. England's state-funded mainstream schools with a published figure that year (suppressed or missing figures are left out); equal figures share a rank; top % = rank ÷ schools × 100, rounded up.
Top % in England by year: the first and best years are labelled; the dashed line is the middle (top 50%).
Against London: London state primaries, same year, cohort 30+, suppressed figures left out. Steps: the score out of 10 against London (10 = top 10%).
Arrows: change in London percentile points since 2018/19.
Pupils counted: 65 pupils (2024/25), every measure.
KS2 progress (reading), KS2 progress (writing), KS2 progress (maths): Not published for 2023/24 or 2024/25.
Getting in
Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.
First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.
Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.
Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.
Inspections
GoodRequires improvementUngraded visit, no grade
Dates are the day each inspection started: Apr 2024 Remains Good · Dec 2018 Remains Good · May 2014 Good · Oct 2012 Requires improvement · Feb 2010 Satisfactory · Feb 2007 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report.
Inspection judgements graded Outstanding or Good, and Requires improvement or Inadequate, out of the judgements graded (the overall grade and aggregated judgements are not counted). Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils
Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (690 places), from Get Information about Schools.
Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.
Parent View
Survey period 4 Sep 2023 to 2 Sep 2024, as at 2 Sep 2024. Source: Ofsted Parent View management information, OGL v3.0 (dataset). The school's own survey page is under Visit & links.
Ofsted changed the survey on 10 Nov 2025. The card shows the newest survey with 10 or more responses; an earlier survey is labelled and never mixed with the current one.
Share of the parents who answered, from Ofsted's published percentages: agree = strongly agree + agree; yes/no and overall-view questions show the share answering Yes or Positive. Where a question does not apply to every parent (Not applicable, I have not raised any concerns), agree is the share of the parents it applies to: strongly agree + agree divided by 100% minus that answer; the card says how many it did not apply to. Don't know stays in. Ofsted publishes a school only with 10 or more submissions. The questions changed on 10 November 2025: the card shows the current survey when the school has one, else the earlier survey (one academic year of submissions, the latest with 10 or more), never both.
Workforce
School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 29.01, leadership 4.64, teaching assistants 22.59, support staff incl. TAs 38.49, whole workforce 67.5 (97 people), 33 teachers by headcount.
Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.
Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.
- DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
- DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
- Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads
Financials
Maintained school accounts (CFR) · April 2025 to March 2026.
Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.
CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.

Read what Ofsted said (6)
From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2024
Strengths
- “John Perry is a welcoming and inclusive school which pupils are happy to attend.”
- “They know they can talk to staff if they are worried about anything.”
- “Pupils behave well.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, assessment is not used as precisely to check what pupils learn and remember.”
- “In these instances, pupils do not consistently develop the same depth of knowledge and understanding as they do in other subjects.”
- “The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently well across the curriculum to identify any errors or misconceptions in pupils’ learning.”
