Burntwood School
London, SW17 0AQ · Wandsworth · secondary school
8th of 11 secondary schools in Wandsworth we can score. 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 — 8.0/10 against 864 of them, against 6.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 49.4 · 64 | 30% | 1.91 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.34 · 75 | 25% | 1.88 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.4 · 68 | 10% | 0.68 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 49.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.34 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Science, Computing, Languages, and Technology Clubs, additional Mathematics groups, Student Council, Tutor Representative, Student Leadership Teams, and a Sports Leaders programme. Sports include Swimming, Athletics, Volleyball, Netball, and Football. Arts and music options are Dance, Choirs, and the School Orchestra. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1472 pupils in a capacity of 1965 places, leaving 493 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 in the additional Mathematics groups to ensure they remain engaged? With 493 spare places, how are class sizes managed to maintain the quality of teaching? How does the recent Good inspection influence current teaching strategies in English and maths
