About Adamsrill Primary School

Adamsrill Primary School sits squarely in the middle of the pack in Lewisham, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a story of solid, if unflashy, performance. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 65%, which is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 64%. That places the school 28th out of 59 primary schools in the borough, right around the 47th percentile — not a standout, but certainly not a struggler either. What’s more interesting is that the school’s own scores are a mixed bag: 82% hit the expected standard in writing, but maths dips to 75% and reading to 76%. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 14%, which suggests that while most children are keeping up, fewer are pulling ahead. In a borough with ten outstanding primaries, Adamsrill is a dependable, middle-ground option.
