About Christ The King Sixth Form College

Christ The King Sixth Form College in Lewisham is a Roman Catholic state secondary for students aged 16 to 99, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school overall as Requires Improvement. That headline, however, masks a more nuanced picture: the sixth-form provision itself was graded Good, as were personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The sticking point is the quality of education, which remains Requires Improvement. On the most informative exam metric available — Progress 8, which measures how much students improve between the end of primary school and GCSEs — the school scored -0.29, placing it in the bottom 50 nationally and 12th out of 15 schools in Lewisham. That score is notably below the local authority average of 0.11, meaning students here typically make less academic progress than their peers across the borough.
