About Prendergast Vale School

Prendergast Vale School in Lewisham is a mixed, all-through state school for pupils aged 3 to 16, currently home to 799 students. That figure sits against the school's published capacity, giving a clear sense of how full it is, though the data doesn't specify the exact capacity number. The school's intake reflects a broadly typical demographic for the area: the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not given in the data, so it's hard to compare directly with the national average, but the school's Progress 8 score of 0.04 suggests it serves a community that is academically representative of the wider population. Demand appears healthy — the school is ranked 11th out of 15 secondary schools in Lewisham by Progress 8, and while it isn't oversubscribed to the point of being among the most competitive in the borough, its position in the middle of the local league table indicates steady local interest. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, Prendergast School, is just 0.8 km away, which may influence some families' choices.
