About Lathom Junior School

Lathom Junior School is a state primary in Newham, London, for children aged 7 to 11, and it is a school that is clearly in demand. With 529 pupils on roll against a capacity of 600, it is running close to full, and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.8 per cent. That is significantly above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23 per cent, and reflects the diverse, inner-city community it serves. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and its headteacher is Sarah Rowlands. The fact that it is oversubscribed in a borough with 68 primary schools suggests strong local confidence, even though Newham has 27 schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Lathom itself holds a Good rating, and its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2022 confirmed that it remains Good, a grade it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2017.
