Albemarle Primary School
About Albemarle Primary School
Albemarle Primary School in Wandsworth holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection in 2009. The school’s most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, where just 47% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the local authority average of 68%, placing Albemarle 51st out of 55 primary schools in Wandsworth. Digging into the individual subjects, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 80% in maths, but writing proved a tougher hurdle at 51%. At the higher standard, the picture is similarly mixed: 24% achieved higher in reading, 20% in maths, and 12% in writing, with only 3% hitting the higher bar across all three subjects. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points.
