About Prendergast Ladywell School

Prendergast Ladywell School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, but its academic outcomes tell a more nuanced story. The school’s Progress 8 score for the 2023/24 academic year is -0.29, which places it in the ‘Below average’ banding nationally. This means that, on average, pupils achieved nearly a third of a grade less per subject than their peers with similar starting points. The school ranks 13th out of 15 secondary schools in Lewisham on this measure, and 2,228th out of 3,141 schools nationally, putting it in the bottom half of the country. Its Attainment 8 score of 41.3 is modest, and only 35.1% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics95 measure). The picture is slightly better for the EBacc: 55.4% of pupils entered the suite of academic subjects, and 23.2% achieved a strong pass (grade 5 or above) in all components.
