In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 35% of primary schools nationally.

Halstead Community Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 6 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 8.3%. There are about 9.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 43% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Halstead Community 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.
