About Glenbrook Primary School

Glenbrook Primary School sits in the bottom half of Lambeth’s primary league table, ranked 35th out of 54 schools, and its headline Key Stage 2 results fall short of the local authority average. Just 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 66% across Lambeth as a whole. That four-point gap is modest but consistent, and it places the school in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. The picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 77% of children reached the expected level in both maths and writing, which is solid, but reading lagged at 65%. Only 4% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s overall ranking score of 62 reflects a broadly average performance for a school serving a highly disadvantaged intake. With 75.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, Glenbrook is working with a cohort that faces significant barriers, and its results need to be read in that context.
