Towers Junior School
About Towers Junior School
Towers Junior School is a state primary in Havering for pupils aged 7 to 11, and it is running very close to full. With 352 children on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is effectively full, which suggests strong local demand for places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.8 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively affluent intake compared with many London schools. The school is a mixed, non-denominational setting with no religious character, and it sits within a local authority that contains ten outstanding-rated primary schools out of a total of sixty. The nearest outstanding school is Towers Infant School, just 0.1 km away, so families in the area have a strong local cluster of provision. The headteacher is Matthew Dineen, who has been in post during a period of notable improvement in the school's official standing.
