De Lucy Primary School
About De Lucy Primary School
De Lucy Primary School in Greenwich has turned a corner academically. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The inspection, which took place in October 2023, awarded Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistency matters for parents looking for a stable, improving environment. The most telling exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 63% of pupils met the benchmark. That is below the Greenwich local authority average of 71%, placing the school 47th out of 57 primary schools in the borough. In a London-wide context, it sits in the 70th percentile, and nationally in the 48th percentile. So while the school is not at the top of the local league tables, the trajectory is positive and the Ofsted upgrade signals real progress under headteacher Kerry Lodge.
