About Gatton (VA) Primary School

Gatton (VA) Primary School’s headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — sits at 67%, which is almost exactly in line with the Wandsworth local authority average of 68%. For a school rated Outstanding by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2024, that might seem modest, but the picture becomes more interesting when you look at the detail. The school is significantly above the national average for pupils achieving the higher standard in maths, at 37%, and its average maths scaled score of 107 is strong. Reading and writing higher-standard scores are lower, at 33% and 17% respectively, which pulls the combined figure down. Gatton is a Muslim voluntary-aided primary school in Wandsworth, with a headteacher, Majid Ishaque, leading a large school of 631 pupils — just one over its official capacity. It sits 33rd out of 62 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the middle of the pack, though it is one of only 13 Outstanding-rated primaries in Wandsworth.
