About Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School
Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. In its 2025 inspection, the school received Outstanding for both the quality of education and early years provision, while personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all rated Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 70% of pupils achieved this, which sits above the Bexley local authority average of 67%. That places the school 23rd out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half locally. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 106, and 11% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. With 544 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is large but not at full capacity, and 19.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
