Good Shepherd RC School
Bromley, BR1 5EP · Lewisham · primary school
52nd of 63 primary schools in Lewisham we can score, 64 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 — 5.6/10 against 2,331 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Boys' and Girls' Yoga, Boys' & Girls' Dance, and football teams. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 201 pupils in a building with 290 places, leaving 89 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 do the yoga and dance clubs fit into the weekly timetable? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How does the school manage class sizes with 89 spare places available?
