About Benhurst Primary School

Benhurst Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 65% across Havering. That five-point gap places the school 15th out of 49 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally and just inside the top 30% nationally. It’s a solid, above-average performer rather than a standout outlier, but the consistency across subjects is worth noting: reading and writing expected rates both sit above 80%, and maths is close behind at 79%. The school also achieves a higher-than-average proportion of pupils working at greater depth, with 21% hitting the higher standard in all three subjects. That’s a useful benchmark for parents who want a school that pushes beyond the basics without being hyper-selective.
