An independent website that has done "all the homework" on 30,000 schools around the UK has revealed its top 10 primary schools in Havering.

School Guide, a website that assesses UK schools using official government performance data, Ofsted reports and parent feedback, has highlighted the borough’s highest-rated state primary schools.

"We've done all the homework on 30,000 UK schools," the site says.

"Unbiased and updated daily, all of School Guide's information is from official sources and we offer a one-stop-shop for all key statistics.

"We add new information on schools every day and refresh all the data on the site every month so that the information is reliable, accurate and trustworthy.

"Based 100 per cent on official data, we have a unique system of grading schools to give parents a reliable snapshot of how each school performed in the last academic year."

School Guide also provides a short description of each school based on its most recent Ofsted inspection report, where available.

The top rated primary school in Havering according to School Guide is Scotts Primary School in Bonington Road, Hornchurch.

In Scotts' last Ofsted inspection it was deemed 'outstanding' in all five categories of quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision.
