About Hacton Primary School

Hacton Primary School sits well above the Havering local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 65%. That 21-point gap puts the school firmly among the top performers in the borough — it ranks 3rd out of 49 primary schools in Havering, placing it in the top 10% nationally. The school is also one of only 10 primary schools in the LA rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a status it has held since its graded inspection in 2015 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2021. With 635 pupils on a capacity of 624, Hacton is slightly oversubscribed, and the numbers back that up: for 2025/26 entry, there were 303 applications for 85 places, with 77 first-preference offers made from 101 first-preference applications. That level of demand suggests local families see the school as a strong option.
