Hayes Primary School
About Hayes Primary School
Hayes Primary School sits within the London borough of Bromley, a local authority with 76 primary schools, 23 of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is ranked 33rd in the LA based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, placing it just inside the top half of Bromley’s primaries. The three highest-scoring peers in the area are St James' Roman Catholic Primary School, La Fontaine Academy and Downe Primary School, all of which outrank Hayes on this metric. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Pickhurst Academy, about 1.5 kilometres away. Hayes is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Samantha Howell and currently educates 601 pupils against a capacity of 654, meaning it is close to full but not yet oversubscribed in terms of total places.
