38th 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 the 4,049 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Kilmorie Primary School
Overview
Kilmorie Primary School is described as a "friendly and nurturing school" where pupils are "polite, courteous and kind." Leaders have ensured that pupils learn a "broad curriculum" with key concepts taught in a "logical sequence," resulting in pupils who "typically achieve well in national tests." The school places a strong emphasis on personal development, including health and online safety, while maintaining high attendance rates.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "caring and supportive relationships with adults" who help them identify emotions and access support.
- There is a "clear curriculum for reading" with staff having "secure expertise in teaching early reading," ensuring pupils decode words with accuracy.
- The school provides "high-quality opportunities" to develop talents, including instrumental lessons, sporting competitions, and memorable events like theatre performances.
- Leaders "monitor carefully the quality of education" and act on identified areas for improvement, with governors effectively appraised of priorities.
Areas to improve
- Teaching does not always focus on work supporting the intended curriculum, and leaders should ensure activities help pupils learn "key subject concepts securely."
- Systems for identifying the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are new; adaptations do not always take full account of prior knowledge, leading to less secure understanding.
- Leaders should provide further guidance to staff to help embed recent curriculum changes and support for pupils with SEND.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
