Check the area around this school
47th 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 655 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Keyworth Primary School
Overview
Keyworth Primary School continues to be a good school, offering an ambitious and bespoke curriculum that builds pupils' understanding gradually. Pupils achieve well, behave calmly, and play an active part in their community, supported by staff who prioritise well-being and safety.
Strengths
- Leaders have developed a curriculum where content is sequenced so pupils build understanding "step by step," such as in mathematics and history.
- The school prioritises reading with clear systems for support, helping pupils become "confident readers who enjoy books."
- Staff adapt teaching well for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Pupils are described as "polite, kind and considerate," with rarely any disruption in lessons.
- Governors provide effective support and challenge, actively working with leaders to improve attendance.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, varying levels of staff subject expertise mean lesson activities do not always support pupils in building knowledge as effectively as they could.
- The school should ensure staff receive training to develop subject knowledge and design activities that fully support intended learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
