About Harris Primary Academy Mayflower

Harris Primary Academy Mayflower is a large state primary in Thurrock, running close to full with 1,068 pupils against a capacity of 1,102. Its intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average: just 12. 9% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. That relative affluence hasn't dampened demand — for 2025/26 entry, the school received 331 applications for 150 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 21 to one. Of those, 142 families put it as their first preference, and 133 first-preference offers were made. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. It sits in the Harris Federation, a multi-academy trust, and is led by headteacher Katie Hanley. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Outstanding, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2017.
