About Falconbrook Primary School

Falconbrook Primary School sits in the bottom half of Wandsworth’s 62 primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 50 places it 48th in the local authority, well behind the top performers like Sheringdale Primary School (93) and Ronald Ross Primary School (90). However, the school’s headline figure of 50% of pupils achieving the expected standard in all three subjects is actually 18 percentage points below the Wandsworth LA average of 68%, which is a significant gap. This contrast is important context for parents: Falconbrook serves a community with very high levels of disadvantage, with 78.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, and its results need to be understood against that backdrop rather than compared directly with more affluent local schools.
