Check the area around this school
53rd 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 — 1.2/10 against 1,236 of them, against 1.2/10 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 | 21.0 · 1 | 40% | 0.05 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.2 out of 10 either way).

What Ofsted said about Wyvil Primary School and Resource Bases for Speech, Language and Communication Needs, and Autism
Overview
Wyvil Primary School is described as an “inclusive and welcoming place” where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “fully included in school life.” The report highlights the school’s ambition for all pupils to succeed through a “broad and balanced curriculum,” noting that staff provide “skilful support” particularly within the autism resource base.
Strengths
- The school makes “exceptional provision to support pupils with autism” and identifies needs effectively.
- Reading is a key priority; pupils’ books are “well matched to the sounds they are learning,” and those falling behind receive “effective support.”
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities, including Taekwondo and music, which help “boost their confidence.”
- The early years environment is organised to “immerse children in number and language,” fostering curiosity.
- Governors are committed, and most staff feel “listened to” with leaders being “considerate about their workload.”
Areas to improve
- New behaviour procedures are “not implemented consistently,” with some off-task behaviour preventing pupils from fully accessing the curriculum.
- Curriculum leadership in some subjects is at an “early stage of development,” meaning some pupils’ recall of important content is “not fully secure.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
