About The Coopers' Company and Coborn School

The Coopers' Company and Coborn School sits within the Havering local authority, where it ranks 4th out of 17 state secondary schools on Progress 8, placing it comfortably in the top quarter nationally. Its Progress 8 score of 0.45 is well above the Havering average of 0.11, and it trails only Sacred Heart of Mary Girls' School, The Campion School, and Harris Academy Rainham among its local peers. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 1,113 applications for 205 places, with 363 families putting it as their first preference. That level of demand reflects its strong reputation in the area, and it's worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated school, Hall Mead School, is just 0.9 km away, giving local families a genuine choice between two high-performing secondaries.
