About Ravenstone Primary School

Ravenstone Primary School in Wandsworth holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has received across both its most recent inspections. In the 2023 graded inspection, the school achieved Good marks in every category inspected: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. Seventy-three per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which sits above the Wandsworth local authority average of 68 per cent. This places Ravenstone 20th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it comfortably in the top half of local schools. Nationally, it ranks in the top 25 per cent of all primary schools, a solid showing that reflects consistent classroom outcomes rather than headline-grabbing extremes.

Looking closer at the 2023/24 exam results, Ravenstone’s pupils performed particularly well in reading, where 38 per cent achieved the higher standard, and in maths, where 29 per cent reached that same higher threshold. The average scaled scores for both reading and maths were 106, a point above the national benchmark of 100. Writing was a relative weaker spot, with only 11 per cent of pupils reaching the higher standard, though 78 per cent did meet the expected level. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds on top of prior attainment, but the raw outcomes are respectable. The combined expected standard of 73 per cent is five percentage points above the local average, and the school’s ranking within Wandsworth — 20th out of 55 — confirms it is a reliable, above-average option for families prioritising solid academic foundations over exceptional results.

Ravenstone is a three-form entry primary with a capacity of 420 pupils, though it currently has 332 on roll, suggesting some spare places. That said, it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 160 applications for 30 places, with 18 first-preference offers made from 21 first-preference applications. The oversubscription ratio of 5.33 to one means competition is real, particularly for families living nearby. The school offers a nursery provision, which may help with transition. Facilities include a library, playing fields, music rooms, a sensory room and even a chapel. The SEND provision is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, and autistic spectrum disorder, plus a resourced provision. Clubs range from chess and science to drama and choir, and sports include swimming, tennis and cross country. This is a solid state option for Wandsworth families who want strong but not exceptional results, a supportive SEND setup, and a school that has held steady at Good across both its recent inspections.
