Harris Academy Chafford Hundred
Grays, RM16 6SA · Thurrock · secondary school
1st of 11 secondary schools in Thurrock we can score, 13 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.2/10 against 709 of them, against 9.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 68.1 · 90 | 30% | 2.69 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.04 · 98 | 25% | 2.45 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.5 · 86 | 10% | 0.86 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.04 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.2 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024.
Getting in. The school has 1379 pupils in a capacity of 1200, meaning it is over capacity by 179. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places during the admissions process? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up after the initial transition? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating while operating significantly above its designated capacity?
