Dunraven School
LONDON, SW16 2QB · Lambeth · all-through school
9th of 15 secondary schools in Lambeth we can score, 16 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 — 7.7/10 against 498 of them, against 5.3/10 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 | 50.0 · 65 | 30% | 1.94 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.23 · 32 | 25% | 0.81 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.7 · 70 | 10% | 0.70 |
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, 50.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.23 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the School council, School monitors, and Prefects. Activities include Sports Day, a Dance Show, Summer Concert, Art Exhibition, Year 6 Production, and a Year 4 residential. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 1789 pupils in a capacity of 1767 places, meaning it is over capacity by 22. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who need help catching up, given the negative Progress 8 score? How do families arrange care before and after school hours, since there are no wraparound clubs?
