London Nautical School
About London Nautical School
London Nautical School, a boys’ secondary in Lambeth, was rated Requires improvement overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection, though behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, both came out as Good. The single most informative exam metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.26, which falls into the national ‘Average’ banding. That score is below the Lambeth local authority average of 0.07, and places the school 12th out of 15 secondaries in the borough on this measure. The Ofsted breakdown shows a mixed picture: quality of education, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision all remain Requires improvement, while the two Good grades suggest some areas are working well. The previous inspection also rated the school Requires improvement overall, so the rating has held steady.
