St Alban's Catholic Primary School
About St Alban's Catholic Primary School
St Alban's Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Havering average for its key stage 2 results, with 77% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 65%. That twelve-point gap puts the school in the top quarter of primaries nationally and eighth out of 49 schools in the borough. It is a solid, above-average performer that delivers consistently stronger outcomes than many of its neighbours, though it is not quite at the level of the top three schools in Havering, which all score 86 or higher on the same metric. The school's maths results are particularly strong: 97% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 108, while 39% achieved the higher standard. Reading and writing are also healthy, with 90% and 81% reaching expected levels respectively, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in writing (19%) is notably lower than in maths. For families looking for a primary that reliably exceeds the local norm, St Alban's makes a compelling case.
