About Beatrix Potter Primary School

Beatrix Potter Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this Wandsworth primary is the Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, where 58% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the local authority average of 68%, and it ranks 43rd out of 55 primary schools in Wandsworth on this measure, putting it in the bottom half of the borough. Nationally, the school sits in the 61st percentile. While the combined figure is a concern, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 84% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 74% did so in reading, both respectable figures. Maths was weaker, with 63% at expected and an average scaled score of 102. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects was 16%.
