About Suttons Primary School

Suttons Primary School in Havering is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is currently running above its official capacity with 466 pupils against 454 places. The school serves a community where 10.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 225 applications for 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.81 to one. Of those, 48 families put Suttons as their first preference, and 46 were offered a place, meaning first-preference applicants had a very high success rate but competition overall is fierce. The school is non-religious and co-educational, with a nursery provision for two-year-olds, making it a popular choice for local families from the earliest stages.
