About Athelney Primary School

Athelney Primary School in Lewisham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection in July 2022 awarded Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where just 42% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Lewisham local authority average of 64%, and it places Athelney 55th out of 59 primary schools in the borough. In national terms, the school ranks in the bottom 50% of all primaries on this measure, at the 89th percentile. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, 55% in reading, and 52% in maths, but only 2% achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
