Dulwich Wood Primary School
London, SE21 8NS · Southwark · primary school
32nd of 62 primary schools in Southwark we can score, 66 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 — 7.3/10 against 2,617 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Emu Club. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 417 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need care before or after the school day, given the lack of wraparound clubs? What specific steps are taken to support the 9.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage admissions when only 3 places remain?
