About The Mawney Foundation School

The Mawney Foundation School sits slightly below the Havering local authority average for primary schools on the key KS2 benchmark. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 65 per cent, Mawney achieves 60 per cent. That gap of five percentage points is modest but places the school 36th out of 60 primaries in the borough, in the bottom half of its local ranking. On the other hand, the school's average scaled scores in reading (106) and maths (105) are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that many children are making solid progress even if the combined headline figure lags slightly. The proportion reaching the higher standard in reading (36 per cent) and maths (30 per cent) is respectable, and 19 per cent hit the higher bar in writing. With 21.5 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a more disadvantaged intake than many of its neighbours, which puts the results in a fairer light.
