The James Oglethorpe Primary School

Upminster, RM14 3NB · Havering · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.9/10 Broadly average

25th of 49 primary schools in Havering we can score, 59 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Karate, Musical Theatre, and Gemstarz clubs, or play Cricket and Athletics. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 407 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 13 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? With only 13 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if you move into the area? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
