Havering Primary School

About Havering Primary School

Havering Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, located in the London borough of Havering. With 310 pupils on roll, it sits within a local authority that contains 60 primary schools of the same type, ten of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Towers Infant School, just 0.6 km away. Among Havering’s primary schools, the top-performing peers by ranking score are Upminster Junior School (89), Nelmes Primary School (86), and Hacton Primary School (86). Havering Primary School itself holds a Good Ofsted rating, placing it in the solid middle tier of the local landscape — a reliable option for families who want a well-regarded school without the intense competition that often surrounds Outstanding-rated schools in the area.

In its most recent Ofsted inspection, Havering Primary School was judged Good overall, with inspectors likely noting strengths in teaching, behaviour, and leadership, though the published report does not break down individual category scores. Academic outcomes data for the school is not provided in this dataset, so direct comparison with the Havering local authority average for Key Stage 2 (65% reaching the expected standard) is not possible here. However, the school’s Good rating suggests that pupils generally make at least expected progress. The school offers a range of clubs including Coding, Chess, and Science Club, which may support academic engagement beyond the core curriculum. For parents weighing options, the absence of published Progress 8 or SATs figures means it is worth requesting the school’s most recent performance data directly.

Facilities at Havering Primary School include a library, playing fields, an outdoor playground, and a sports hall, supporting a broad physical education programme that features swimming, dance, rounders, and cricket. The school does not publish details of specific SEND provisions in this data, so families with children who have additional needs should contact the school directly to discuss support. Admissions are managed by the London Borough of Havering, and with 310 pupils the school is moderately sized; oversubscription data is not available here, but given its Good rating and the presence of higher-ranked peers nearby, it may not be as heavily oversubscribed as the top-tier schools. This school will suit families who value a solid, well-equipped local primary with a good range of extracurricular activities, and who are content with a Good rating rather than prioritising an Outstanding designation.
