Check the area around this school
32nd 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 — 6.4/10 against 4,208 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Sandhurst Primary School
Overview
Sandhurst Primary School continues to be a good school, providing an engaging and aspirational curriculum that reflects the diverse backgrounds of its pupils. The inspection confirms that leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve well, fostering a strong sense of community where respect and kindness are integral to daily life.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy attending school, benefiting from strong staff relationships and a culture where everyone is valued.
- The curriculum is broad, balanced, and carefully sequenced so that new learning builds effectively on prior knowledge.
- Leaders ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive prompt support and adapted lessons to help them achieve well.
- High attendance and low persistent absence allow pupils to benefit fully from the planned curriculum.
- A systematic phonics programme and well-trained staff support children in becoming fluent readers quickly, fostering a love of reading.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not consistently effective in identifying gaps in pupils’ knowledge, meaning teaching does not always use this information to support progress as well as it could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
