Heathbrook Primary School
About Heathbrook Primary School
Heathbrook Primary School outperforms the Lambeth average on the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school achieves 74 per cent, while the local authority average for primary schools sits at 66 per cent, an eight-point gap that places Heathbrook 17th out of 59 Lambeth primaries. That puts it in the top third of borough schools, though it sits outside the group of 14 outstanding-rated primaries in the area. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 admissions round, 95 families applied for 39 places, and 30 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents recognise the school's solid academic standing. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the overall effectiveness remains Good. This is a significant improvement from the previous graded inspection in 2014, when the school was rated Requires Improvement.
