Cooper's Lane Primary School
About Cooper's Lane Primary School
Cooper's Lane Primary School sits right on the Lewisham average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with 64% achieving that benchmark against a local authority average of 64%. That places it exactly in line with its peers across the borough, though the school's overall ranking of 33rd out of 59 primary schools in Lewisham puts it in the middle of the pack. What stands out more is the school's performance at the higher end: just 1% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, and only 1% did so in writing specifically. That's a notably low figure, suggesting the school is solid at getting most children to the expected level but less strong at pushing the most able into the top tier. In maths, however, 43% of pupils achieved the higher standard, which is a much healthier proportion and points to a real strength in that subject.
