Romford, RM7 9NX · Havering · secondary school
13th 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 — 7.0/10 against 794 of them, against 5.6/10 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 | 18 | 35% | 0.62 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 48.6 · 62 | 30% | 1.87 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.05 · 54 | 25% | 1.35 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.1 · 40 | 10% | 0.40 |
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, inspected in 2026-05. In 2024/25, 48.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.05 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Student Council, Head Students, Subject Ambassadors, and Charity Committee. They engage in voluntary and community work, including Afternoon Tea for the elderly. Trips include visits to universities, conventions, open days, and student shadowing placements at local universities.
Getting in. There are 848 pupils in a school with 1334 places, leaving 486 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 do you support pupils in raising their Attainment 8 scores to meet the national median? What specific support is available for students aiming for university placements? How do you maintain engagement for students in smaller class sizes?
