About Bishop John Robinson Church of England Primary School

Bishop John Robinson Church of England Primary School sits slightly below the Greenwich local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school’s figure of 69% compares with a borough average of 71%, placing it 34th out of 57 primary schools in Greenwich. That’s a middling position, but the gap is narrow — just two percentage points — and the school outperforms the LA average in writing, where 90% of pupils met the expected standard. Reading and maths expected rates are 79% and 86% respectively, both solid. The school’s ranking within the top 50% nationally (34th percentile) and the middle of the London region (55th percentile) confirms it as a broadly average performer for core subjects, though its writing results are a clear strength.

At the higher standard, the picture is more mixed. Just 14% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in reading, writing and maths combined, while 45% reached the higher standard in reading alone — a strong result. Maths at the higher level was 28%, and writing 17%. Average scaled scores were 106 in maths and 107 in reading, both slightly above the national baseline of 100. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 was ungraded, confirming it remains Good overall, though with a note of concern. The previous graded inspection in 2014 also rated the school Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all scoring 2. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with no outstanding grades recorded.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 57 applications for 21 places, with 19 first-preference offers made. That’s a ratio of 2.71 applicants per place, reflecting local demand. Facilities include a library, ICT suite, music rooms, sensory room, sports hall, outdoor playground, playing fields and a chapel. SEND provision covers moderate learning difficulty, profound and multiple learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, and physical disability. Clubs range from eco club and choir to coding, drama and book club, while sports include cricket, dance, athletics, rounders and netball. With nursery provision from age three and a Church of England character, this school suits families seeking a community primary with solid core results, strong writing outcomes, and a broad range of enrichment activities.
