About Nelmes Primary School

Nelmes Primary School sits well above the Havering average for its key stage 2 results, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 65%. That 21-point gap puts the school in a strong position within the borough, and the data backs it up: Nelmes ranks 3rd out of 60 primary schools in Havering, placing it in the top 5% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed by a significant margin, receiving 336 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 96 of those as first preferences. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a standout option, and the numbers support that view.
