History
Hall Mead School opened in 1960. It was originally a secondary modern school for those who were not selected to go to Grammar School by examination at the age of 11 years. It is now a comprehensive school. Well-equipped, it was one of the first schools to acquire a swimming pool, largely by the fundraising efforts of the pupils and their families. However, Hall Mead does not currently have a swimming pool to the present day. In 2013, it was the only school in Havering to receive an 'Outstanding' report from Ofsted, in the terms of Achievement of pupils, Quality of teaching, Behaviour & safety of pupils as well as Leadership & Management, while other nearby schools such as Coopers' Company and Coborn School and Gaynes School only managed to get a 'Good' report. Currently, construction is underway for a brand new school with modern aspects designed to innovate the learning experiences of pupils. The build is expected to be complete by 2021.
