Latest figures from the school

Data received 2025/26

  • Left in the previous 12 months: 6 (15% of staff)

Behaviour

Typical record 2025/26

Reading the numbers: higher figures below often mean a school records thoroughly and takes concerns seriously, rather than more incidents happening. A school reporting unusually low figures sometimes has a reporting gap rather than a problem-free intake. If a figure stands out, it's worth asking the school how it records.

  • Data year: 2025/26
  • Bullying incidents: 5
  • Physical aggression / violence incidents: 10
  • Child protection referrals: 20
  • Safeguarding concerns: 10
  • Racist incidents: 5
  • Suspensions (fixed-term exclusions): 0
  • Permanent exclusions: 0

Figures may show "<5" for some schools.

Across Havering: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 2 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
  • Suspensions for bullying: 3 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 2 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Havering, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

  • Overall absence: 5.1%
  • Persistently absent pupils: 12.5%
  • Data year: 2024/25
