Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School
About Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School
Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School in Havering received a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in June 2025, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2023. The school was graded Good across all five assessed categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school's academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 present a mixed picture. In the 2023/24 academic year, 53% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Havering local authority average of 65%. This places the school 41st out of 49 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom 50% nationally. Average scores in reading (101) and maths (102) are close to the national benchmark of 100, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%, with only 10% achieving higher in reading and 14% in maths.
