Elm Park Primary School
About Elm Park Primary School
Elm Park Primary School in Havering holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school was previously rated Requires Improvement in 2014, but its 2016 graded inspection saw it jump to Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. An ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 64%. That is very close to the Havering local authority average of 65%, placing Elm Park 29th out of 49 primary schools in the borough. While the school sits just below the national average on this combined measure, its individual subject scores tell a slightly different story: 82% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 75% in writing, and 72% in maths, with average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 104 in maths.
