About Newtons Primary School

Newtons Primary School in Havering has a mixed picture when it comes to parent experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 70% of the 27 respondents said they would recommend the school. That leaves a notable 30% who would not. On the question of whether their child is happy, 85% agreed or strongly agreed, and 89% felt their child was safe. However, only 63% agreed that the school has high expectations for their child, and just 48% felt concerns were dealt with properly. The school is clearly popular: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 90 applications for 52 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.73, with 39 first-preference offers made. That level of demand suggests many local families see it as a strong option, even if the survey responses reveal some areas of dissatisfaction.
