Jessop Primary School
London, SE24 0BJ · Lambeth · primary school
5th of 56 primary schools in Lambeth we can score, 58 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 — 9.8/10 against 2,239 of them, against 9.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 21.0 · 93 | 25% | 2.32 |
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, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the School Council, take dance lessons, or learn violin and cello. The school runs a breakfast club and an after-school club, and visits Sayers Croft.
Getting in. There are 281 pupils in a school with 455 places, leaving 174 spare places. 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 you support pupils who reach the expected standard but not the higher standard? What does a typical day look like for a child attending the breakfast club? How do you maintain the Outstanding standard with such a large capacity?
