About Parklands Primary School

Parklands Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 188 applications for just 79 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38. Of those, 73 families put it down as their first preference, and all 73 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and while there is no official parent view survey data to draw on here, the sheer volume of applications tells its own story. The school is led by headteacher Scott Stevens and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary in the London borough of Havering, with a current roll of 905 pupils against a capacity of 930, meaning it is running very close to full.
