Nightingale Primary School
About Nightingale Primary School
Nightingale Primary School sits within the Greenwich local authority, a London borough with 62 primary schools in total. Among these, the school ranks 27th, placing it in the top half of local primaries. The three highest-scoring peers in the area are St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Eltham Church of England Primary School, and Our Lady of Grace Catholic Primary School, all of which hold higher ranking scores. Nightingale itself is rated Good by Ofsted, a rating it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2011, and was confirmed as remaining Good during an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school has made clear progress from its previous overall effectiveness rating of Requires Improvement in 2009. With 219 pupils against a capacity of 210, it is slightly oversubscribed, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
