About Upminster Junior School

Upminster Junior School is a popular choice among local families, with the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirming it remains a Good school and noting that leadership and management are Outstanding. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, its oversubscription status is a clear signal of demand: the school has 362 pupils against a capacity of 360, meaning it is effectively full. This suggests that securing a place can be competitive, particularly for families moving into the Havering area. The school serves a relatively affluent intake, with just 3.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well below the national average. For parents, this combination of a strong Ofsted rating, full capacity, and low FSM numbers points to a school that is well-regarded and sought-after within the community.
