Check the area around this school
6th of 56 primary schools in Lambeth we can score, 58 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.4/10 against 3,846 of them, against 9.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School overview
How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 15.0%, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in June 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Pupils can join the OT club, play football, and participate in Bikeability, scooter training, and Mr Brady's Summer Sports Camp. An after-school club is also available.
