About All Saints' Church of England Primary School Blackheath
Parents at All Saints’ Church of England Primary School Blackheath are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 95% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a very strong signal, and it’s backed up by the detail: 83% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 80% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is also a clear strength, with 69% strongly agreeing that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 academic year, it received 119 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.97. Only 17 first-preference offers were made out of 18 first-preference applications, so getting a place is competitive. The school is a Church of England primary in Lewisham, with headteacher Luke Tucker leading a relatively small community of 185 pupils against a capacity of 218.
Academically, All Saints’ performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lewisham average of 64%. That places the school 21st out of 59 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 50% locally. Individual subject scores are solid: average reading and maths scores were 105 and 106 respectively, with 84% reaching the expected standard in maths and 75% in reading. At the higher standard, 34% achieved it in both reading and maths, though writing at the higher level was lower at 13%. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in September 2019, rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. An ungraded inspection in March 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with early years provision also rated Good.
The school offers a good range of facilities for a primary of its size, including a library, art studios, music rooms, a sports hall, playing fields and a chapel. Sports on offer include gymnastics, cricket, football, dance and rounders, and there are clubs for coding, science and eco activities. For families with children who have special educational needs, the school lists provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. In the Parent View survey, 86% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the school gives SEND children the support they need. With 19% of responding parents indicating their child has SEND, this is a meaningful data point. All Saints’ is a good fit for families who value a strong community feel, high parental satisfaction, and a school that combines solid academic outcomes with a clear focus on personal development and behaviour.
