About Gordon Primary School

Gordon Primary School in Greenwich holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 58 per cent. That figure sits below the Greenwich local authority average of 71 per cent, and it places the school 53rd out of 57 primary schools in the borough. In national terms, Gordon sits in the bottom half of all primary schools on this measure, though the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. The school’s ranking score of 58 puts it well behind the top three Greenwich primaries, which all score in the mid-80s.
