Bishop Gilpin CofE Primary School
Wimbledon, SW19 7EP · Merton · primary school
4th of 42 primary schools in Merton we can score, 43 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 the 3,110 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5/10 among them, against 9.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5 out of 10 among them, against 9.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. An after-school club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 467 pupils in a capacity of 472, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 5 places remaining, what is the current waitlist length for new admissions? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity? Since the school lacks a breakfast club, what support is available for families who need early morning care?
