Bandon Hill Primary School
About Bandon Hill Primary School
Bandon Hill Primary School’s headline metrics place it slightly below the Sutton local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) at Key Stage 2 sits at 69%, Bandon Hill achieves 65%. That gap is modest, but it’s worth noting given Sutton is a high-performing borough overall. The school’s ranking within the LA reflects this: it sits 20th out of 42 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half locally. However, the picture isn’t uniformly middling. In writing, 83% of pupils hit the expected standard, and 73% did so in maths — both solid figures. Reading is slightly lower at 77%. Where Bandon Hill really lags is at the higher standard: just 10% of pupils achieve the higher benchmark across all three subjects, compared to a stronger showing in maths alone (40% at higher standard). So while the school is broadly in line with national norms, it’s not keeping pace with Sutton’s typically high expectations.
