Check the area around this school
11th 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 — 10.0/10 against 1,446 of them, against 9.8/10 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 | 95.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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 Stockwell Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are "proud members of the school community" who feel "happy and safe." Leaders have designed an "ambitious curriculum" supported by staff with "secure subject knowledge," resulting in high-quality education across most subjects. The school has improved significantly since its previous inspection, with positive feedback from parents and staff regarding leadership and workload.
Strengths
- Pupils "treat each other and staff with respect" and behave sensibly, with bullying incidents dealt with seriously.
- Teachers use assessment effectively to identify gaps in learning, ensuring all pupils, including those with SEND, have "secure knowledge."
- Reading is a priority, with a new phonics programme and staff training ensuring children learn to read from Reception.
- Pupils enjoy a wide variety of after-school clubs, including sporting activities, cooking, and yoga.
- Staff have a "manageable workload" and are "overwhelmingly positive" about leaders’ support and direction.
Areas to improve
- In geography, leaders must ensure the curriculum identifies specific knowledge so pupils build a "deep body of knowledge" cumulatively, as this is currently not as secure as in other subjects.
- Leaders should ensure strategies to support pupils with significant gaps in phonics knowledge are "consistently used by all staff" to improve fluency and confidence.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are "effective," with leaders creating a "vigilant culture" and rigorous systems to support families.
