Ivydale Primary School
London, SE15 3BU · Southwark · primary school
29th 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 — 7.5/10 against 3,427 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a yoga club and participate in football, basketball, swimming, and the Daily Mile. Arts provision includes instrumental lessons, music ensembles, and choirs. Trips visit the Horniman Museum, British Museum, and Peckham Rye, with a Year 6 residential trip to Wales. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 463 pupils in a capacity of 540 places, leaving 77 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Year 6 residential trip to Wales? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
