About Towers Infant School

Towers Infant School is one of the most sought-after primary schools in Havering, and the numbers tell a clear story. For its 86 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 303 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.52. That means more than three families applied for every available place. Of those 303 applications, 92 were first-preference choices, and 76 of those first-preference families were offered a spot. That level of demand is a strong signal that local parents rate the school highly. It’s also one of only ten primary schools in Havering rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 60 schools of the same type in the local authority. The nearest other Outstanding primary is Harrow Lodge Primary School, 1.6 km away, so Towers holds a fairly exclusive position in its immediate area.
