40th of 54 primary schools in Wandsworth we can score, 57 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 — 6.1/10 against 348 of them, against 3.9/10 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% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 George's CofE Primary School
Overview
St George’s CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "friendly, nurturing" environment where pupils are happy and safe. The report highlights high expectations for all learners, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and praises the school’s focus on positive rewards and inclusive activities.
Strengths
- Reading is given "high priority," with effective phonics teaching and support ensuring pupils can "blend sounds and read words successfully."
- Teachers demonstrate "clear subject knowledge" and use assessment to quickly correct misconceptions, particularly in mathematics and early reading.
- Pupils are "engaged in their learning," taught to "politically challenge and support the views of others," and benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities.
- The school ensures pupils with SEND are identified swiftly and receive bespoke support, such as "one-to-one support or access to drama or music therapy."
- Staff well-being is prioritised, with leaders taking into account workload and providing appreciated training.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum changes in some foundation subjects are "not fully embedded," meaning pupils are not consistently able to recall important ideas or discuss complex concepts. Leaders must ensure these refinements are "securely in place across all subjects."
- The school continues to work on improving attendance rates and dealing with persistent absence, though measures are starting to be successful.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
