St Andrew's Catholic Primary School
London, SW16 2ET · Lambeth · primary school
1st of 56 primary schools in Lambeth we can score, 58 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 — 9.9/10 against 3,897 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 92.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.93 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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, 92.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 23.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in September 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access chess, robotics, and financial literacy sessions, alongside yoga, ballet, musical theatre, and orchestra. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 406 pupils against a capacity of 420, leaving 14 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 14 places remaining? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the various arts and sports clubs scheduled to ensure broad participation?
