About The Campion School

The Campion School is a Roman Catholic boys' secondary in the London borough of Havering, and it stands out clearly in the local state school landscape. Based on Progress 8 scores, it ranks second out of 17 schools in the borough, placing it in the top 25% nationally. Its closest academic peers include Sacred Heart of Mary Girls' School, which sits just above it in the rankings, followed by Harris Academy Rainham and The Coopers' Company and Coborn School. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 392 applications for 150 places, with 128 offers going to first-preference families. That ratio of 2.61 applicants per place tells you how sought-after it is locally. It also has a sixth form, so boys can stay on through to 18. The headteacher is P Larner, and the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2012 graded inspection, with an ungraded visit in 2021 confirming it remains Good.
