About Roman Road Primary School

Roman Road Primary School sits in the London borough of Newham, a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11. It ranks 4th out of 61 primary schools in the local authority, placing it firmly in the top 5% of Newham schools. The three schools immediately above it in the local rankings are Tollgate Primary School, Cleves Primary School, and Rosetta Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same KS2 expected standard metric. Headteacher Asif Mahmood leads a school that is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 69 applications for just 25 places, with 24 of those offers going to first-preference families. That works out at 2.76 applications per place, a clear sign of local demand. The school also has a nursery provision, so families can join from age 3.
