Hylands Primary School
About Hylands Primary School
Hylands Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Havering when it comes to the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school recorded 68% of its Year 6 pupils hitting that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the Havering average of 65%. That three-point gap might not sound enormous, but it places Hylands 23rd out of 49 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half of its local peers. The school is also comfortably oversubscribed — 215 families applied for 89 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 85 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests a solid local reputation, and it's worth noting that the school has capacity for 650 pupils and currently has 656 on roll, so it's running very close to full.
