Brindishe Manor School

London, SE13 5LS · Lewisham · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
8.4/10 Well above average

6th of 63 primary schools in Lewisham we can score, 64 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 3,912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 7.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 75.0 · 78 40% 3.11

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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 7.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access music tuition and a wide range of sports including hockey, basketball, tag rugby, dance, try-golf, handball, tennis, and gymnastics. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 426 pupils in a capacity of 480 places, leaving 54 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late for the morning session, given there is no breakfast club? What specific support is available for pupils aiming to reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary education?
