About Ashmole Primary School

Ashmole Primary School sits in a competitive Lambeth primary landscape, and its headline Key Stage 2 results offer a mixed picture against the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 67%, which is just one percentage point above the Lambeth average of 66%. That’s a slender margin, but it places the school 25th out of 54 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half locally. Where Ashmole really stands out is in reading: 85% of pupils hit the expected standard, and 33% achieved the higher standard — both well above what you’d typically see across Lambeth. Maths is more of a mixed bag, with 78% reaching the expected level but only 19% reaching the higher standard, which is notably lower than the reading higher score. The school’s overall ranking score of 67 places it in the top 50% nationally, but it’s worth noting that three other Lambeth primaries — Corpus Christi, St Andrew’s and Stockwell — all score above 90 on the same metric.
