Harris Academy Rainham
Rainham, RM13 9XD · Havering · secondary school
8th of 18 secondary schools in Havering we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 918 of them, against 7.5/10 nationally. 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.3 · 66 | 30% | 1.96 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.56 · 86 | 25% | 2.16 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.4 · 72 | 10% | 0.72 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in. What that means: you cannot determine if there is space for your child based on the data available.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are working towards the 50.3% benchmark for English and maths? What specific activities or trips are available to students this term? How does the school manage class sizes given the current intake?
