Cardwell Primary School
London, SE18 5LP · Greenwich · primary school
12th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 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 — 9.4/10 against 1,522 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 38% | 3.12 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 14.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess, Lego, Coding, Rocksteady, French, Arithmetic, Choir, and Knitting clubs. Sports include Taekwondo, Multisports, Football, Gymnastics, AW Football Coaching, and Running. Arts and music options are Ballet and Guitar. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. There are 423 pupils in a school with 480 places, leaving 57 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main school day?
