Perrymount Primary School
London, SE23 2PX · Lewisham · primary school
49th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 2,069 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Arts and Crafts, Nerf Blasters, Code, Cooking, and Knitting clubs, or play Basketball, Football, Multi-Skills, Karate, Dance, and Gymnastics. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 202 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 8 spare places. With so few spots remaining, securing a place is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to help the 3.0% who reach the higher standard extend their learning further? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 8 places?
