About Boutcher Church of England Primary School

Boutcher Church of England Primary School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it earned in its most recent inspection in 2022. The inspectors awarded the top mark across every single category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a school that clearly delivers across the board, but the most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 96 per cent, that figure is streets ahead of the Southwark local authority average of 68 per cent. It also places Boutcher first out of 60 primary schools in the borough, and in the top five per cent nationally. For a school with a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (34 per cent), these results are particularly striking.
