44th 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 — 4.6/10 against 2,230 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Saviour's Church of England Primary School
Overview
St Saviour’s Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, with a new leadership team providing stability after a period of change. The school is "much appreciated by local families," and pupils generally behave well while studying a "broad range of subjects." However, inconsistencies in curriculum implementation and support for some pupils remain.
Strengths
- Children "get off to a strong start in the early years," quickly settling into routines and building a "strong foundation in early mathematics."
- The phonics programme is "appropriate" and delivered with consistency, with staff carefully checking that children practise "sounding and blending at home."
- Pupils benefit from a "wide and varied programme to support pupils’ personal development," including trips to cultural sites and opportunities to develop confidence through music.
- A new behaviour system has reduced suspensions significantly, and an "experienced governing body" holds leaders to account effectively.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum thinking is in early stages in some subjects, leading to "gaps in pupils’ learning" and a lack of clarity on how new learning builds on prior knowledge.
- Adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not consistently enable them to access the curriculum, as staff lack the knowledge to adapt tasks appropriately.
- Staff do not always set "high enough expectations for pupils’ behaviour for learning," causing some pupils to lose focus and miss key information.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
