About Pelham Primary School

Pelham Primary School in Merton holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in 2013 and an ungraded visit in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this 3-11 mixed state primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths. In the 2023/24 academic year, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, which is exactly in line with the Merton local authority average of 68%. This places Pelham 22nd out of 42 primary schools in the borough, sitting just inside the top half. While the school does not break into the top tier of Merton primaries, its results are solidly average for the area, and it outperforms the national picture in several individual subjects.
