About Concordia Academy
Concordia Academy is a state primary school in the London borough of Havering, and it stands out as one of the strongest performers in the area. Of the 49 primary schools in the local authority, it ranks 6th, placing it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. Its closest peers at the top of the Havering leaderboard are Upminster Junior School, Nelmes Primary School, and Hacton Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is led by headteacher Raheel Akhtar and is non-denominational, serving 539 pupils against a capacity of 630. In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, it received the highest possible rating of Outstanding across all assessed categories, including leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. An ungraded inspection in June 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained, and it is one of only ten Outstanding primaries in Havering.
