About Keyworth Primary School

Keyworth Primary School sits within Southwark, a London borough with 67 primary schools, where it ranks 44th according to its Key Stage 2 results. That places it in the bottom half of the local authority, some distance behind the top-performing peers nearby. The three highest-ranked primaries in Southwark are Boutcher Church of England Primary School, The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, and Riverside Primary School, all of which achieved ranking scores above 90. For context, the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Crampton Primary, just 0.4 kilometres away. Keyworth itself was last graded Good in a full inspection back in 2018, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Beard and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary with a capacity of 500, though current pupil numbers sit at 335.
