Ernest Bevin Academy
London, SW17 7DF · Wandsworth · secondary school
10th 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 — 8.6/10 against 406 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 15 | 35% | 0.51 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.6 · 52 | 30% | 1.55 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.59 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.6 · 44 | 10% | 0.44 |
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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. In 2024/25, 44.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths, matching the national median of 44.6. The Attainment 8 score was 44.6, also equal to the national median. Progress 8 was +0.59 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 (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 643 pupils in a capacity of 900, leaving 257 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 raising their attainment to exceed the national median? What specific opportunities exist for students to develop skills beyond the core curriculum? How does the school manage class sizes to ensure individual attention given the current vacancy rate?
