About St Ursula's Catholic Primary School

St Ursula's Catholic Primary School in Havering holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in 2017. The inspection report shows a mixed picture: behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were both rated Outstanding, while the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all judged Good. On the most telling academic metric for a primary school, 76% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure places the school well above the Havering local authority average of 65%, and ranks it 9th out of 49 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% nationally. Just 12% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores were stronger: 86% hit the expected level in writing, 83% in reading and 79% in maths.
