A Host of Excellent Education Options

The London Borough of Havering is a well performing local educational authority and has an entirely comprehensive based educational system with a range of high achieving educational institutions. The success of our children and young people is recognised not only through high academic achievement, but also through excellence in music, sport and the arts with individual and personal success in all aspects of school life. These separately operated facilities offer language support through the Europa Centre and music support through the Havering Music School.

Schools in Havering achieve well and recent results at all national key stages are generally positive with over 60% of secondary school pupils achieving 5 good GCSEs.
