About Avenue Primary Academy

Avenue Primary Academy in Sutton received its most recent Ofsted inspection in early 2024, and inspectors judged every single category — overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — to be Outstanding. That is a clean sweep of top grades, and it matches the school’s previous Outstanding rating from 2012, so this is clearly a school that has sustained high standards over time. On the most telling exam metric, 70% of its Year 6 pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is a whisker above the Sutton local authority average of 69%, and it places Avenue 17th out of 33 primary schools in the borough. The school is one of only 12 primaries in Sutton currently rated Outstanding, which puts it in a select group.
