Hornchurch, RM12 6RT · Havering · secondary school
15th 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 the 888 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 30.7 · 19 | 30% | 0.56 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.37 · 23 | 25% | 0.57 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.4 · 42 | 10% | 0.42 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023-03. In 2024/25, 30.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.4, slightly below the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.37 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 2.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in an Inter House sports day.
Getting in. There are 705 pupils in a school with 918 places, leaving 213 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific opportunities exist for students to develop skills beyond the core curriculum? How does the school manage class sizes to ensure individual attention?
