Check the area around this school
55th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.4/10 against 1,703 of them, against 3.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.84 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Rangefield Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, the figure was 6.0% against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join a Book Club, participate in cooking activities, and attend a Year 3 trip to Shrek’s Adventure. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 236 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning and behave well, with bullying having “vastly reduced over time” and staff dealing with incidents “swiftly and effectively.”

Areas to improve
- Leaders must establish “rigorous systems” to check the impact of provision on pupils with SEND, ensuring a “precise, regular overview” of their learning progress.
