26th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 1,099 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| 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 St Andrew's Church of England Primary School
Overview
St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy their learning and feel safe. The school is highly inclusive, with strong relationships between staff and pupils underpinned by core values such as kindness and perseverance. While the curriculum is ambitious and well-designed in most subjects, there are inconsistencies in delivery that hinder some pupils’ progress.
Strengths
- Exceptional early years provision ensures children make a "wonderful start" and begin learning to read immediately.
- A "sharp focus on reading" throughout the school helps pupils develop a love for the subject, with effective support for those struggling.
- Pupils have a "deep understanding of number composition" in mathematics, building a strong foundation for more complex concepts.
- Conduct is excellent, with "low-level disruption" being very rare and attendance sustained through close work with families.
- Pupils’ character development is a high priority, resulting in children who are increasingly able to "regulate their own emotions."
Areas to improve
- Ensure the planned curriculum is implemented consistently, as some work does not enable pupils to achieve curriculum aims.
- Address instances where teachers move pupils on to complex learning before they have embedded their understanding, which creates gaps in knowledge for some, including pupils with SEND.
- Improve governors’ oversight of leaders’ work regarding staff workload, as some staff report difficulties managing it.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
