About Macaulay Church of England Primary School

Macaulay Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in its previous inspection in 2009. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 60%. That figure is below the Lambeth local authority average of 66%, placing Macaulay 39th out of 54 primary schools in the borough. On the brighter side, the school’s average reading score of 107 and maths score of 105 both exceed the national benchmark of 100, and a fifth of pupils (20%) reached the higher standard across all three subjects. The school is small, with 162 pupils against a capacity of 210, and 38% of children are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
