Mead Primary School
About Mead Primary School
Mead Primary School in Havering holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors singling out personal development as Outstanding. The school’s key academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 63%. That figure sits just below the Havering local authority average of 65%, placing Mead 30th out of 49 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school ranks around the midpoint, at the 50th percentile. The most striking exam figure, however, is the very low proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects: just 1%. This suggests that while the majority of children meet the expected level, very few are stretching significantly beyond it. The school’s average scores in reading (105) and maths (104) are both above the national benchmark of 100, so the picture is one of solid, if not exceptional, academic performance.
