Perrymount Primary School
About Perrymount Primary School
Perrymount Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in the London borough of Lewisham, a local authority with 67 primary schools. It ranks 32nd out of those 67 on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the borough are Haberdashers' Hatcham Free School, St Augustine's Catholic Primary School and Nursery, and Eliot Bank Primary School, all of which sit higher up the rankings. Perrymount is a relatively small school, with 207 pupils against a capacity of 210, and it offers nursery provision for children aged three and up. The school has a non-religious character and is led by headteacher Christine Keen. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 129 applications for just 29 places, with 28 of those going to first-preference families.
