Ark Evelyn Grace Academy
London, SE24 0QN · Lambeth · secondary school
14th of 15 secondary schools in Lambeth we can score, 16 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.2/10 against 101 of them, against 1.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 25.9 · 10 | 46% | 0.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.46 · 18 | 38% | 0.68 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 39.9 · 21 | 15% | 0.32 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 25.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.46 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Bossa Nova Club, Bands, Choir, Music Technology Club, Brass, Strings, Spark, and Chamber Choir. They participate in Fusion, Rap Collective, Open Mic, and seasonal music concerts. Trips include Music Master Classes, ELAM GCSE Workshops, songwriting at the Roundhouse, Gamelan at the Royal Festival Hall, and concerts at the Barbican. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 348 pupils in a capacity of 1200, leaving 852 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific support is offered for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How do the music workshops at venues like the Barbican integrate with the core curriculum?
