Rise Park Junior School
About Rise Park Junior School
Rise Park Junior School in Havering is a mixed state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently home to 350 pupils against a capacity of 360. That near-full roll suggests the school is comfortably meeting local demand, though it is not oversubscribed to the point of turning families away. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.1%, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but sits below the Havering average, indicating a slightly more affluent intake than the borough norm. The school has no religious character, so admissions are handled purely by the local authority on a catchment basis. With a headteacher in Hayley Durrant and a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, Rise Park presents as a stable, well-regarded option for families in the area who want a straightforward state junior school without any faith-based selection criteria.
