About Larkhall Primary Campus

Larkhall Primary Campus sits in the bottom half of Lambeth’s primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 56 on this metric places it 45th out of 59 schools in the borough, ten percentage points below the local authority average of 66. That gap is significant, but it’s worth noting that the school serves a far more disadvantaged intake than most: 57.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average for primary schools. The school’s Progress 8 data is not available, so it’s difficult to say how much of that attainment gap reflects the starting points of its children. What the data does show is that individual subject scores are closer to the national average — a reading average score of 107 and a maths average of 106 — suggesting that while fewer children reach the combined expected standard, many are still performing solidly in the core subjects.
