Suttons Primary School

School overview

Suttons Primary School is a primary school serving Hornchurch, Havering, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 466 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. 75% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 2.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 8% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 22% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Suttons Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 50 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.25 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 24.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Suttons Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
