Check the area around this school
49th 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 — 6.2/10 against 816 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Grange Primary School
Overview
Grange Primary School provides a "nurturing environment" where pupils are "happy and safe" and feel welcome. The inspection found that pupils achieve well within a "broad and balanced curriculum" that is "ambitious for all pupils" and reflects the school’s diverse community.
Strengths
- Staff deliver "engaging" phonics teaching with a "keen focus on the teaching of reading," ensuring pupils understand content and receive effective support if they fall behind.
- The curriculum is "typically clearly sequenced and well structured," with leaders identifying key knowledge and vocabulary to help pupils build on previous learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive tailored support, allowing them to "access the curriculum and make progress" alongside peers.
- Positive behaviour is maintained through "well established" expectations and routines, while extra-curricular activities and trips enrich pupils' experiences.
- Leaders and governors are supportive, with staff valuing the "care and consideration shown for their work and well-being."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is "not consistently delivered in an effective fashion," meaning pupils do not develop the same depth of knowledge as in other areas.
- Leaders must ensure they "continue to develop staff expertise and knowledge" to guarantee high-quality teaching across the entire curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
