The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie
LONDON, SE1 1HG · Southwark · primary school
1st of 62 primary schools in Southwark we can score, 66 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 3,486 of them, against 9.9/10 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 | 93.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.95 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 41.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.49 |
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, 93.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 41.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2023. 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 (10.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in rounders, nativity plays, musicals, and Easter performances. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 217 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children arriving from other areas, given the competitive nature of its places? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours, since no wraparound clubs are provided?
