About Elfrida Primary School

Elfrida Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Lewisham local authority average, which is a stark contrast for parents considering this school. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 27% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a borough average of 64%. That puts Elfrida at the very bottom of the 59 primary schools in Lewisham, ranking 59th out of 59. The school’s ranking score of 27 places it in the bottom 50 nationally, and within London it sits in the 99.5th percentile of schools — meaning almost every other school in the capital outperforms it on this measure. The individual subject scores tell a similar story: 49% reached the expected level in reading, 39% in maths, and 51% in writing. Only 12% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, 10% in maths, and none in writing. For families focused on academic attainment, these figures are a clear red flag.
