Rotherhithe Primary School
About Rotherhithe Primary School
Rotherhithe Primary School sits within the Southwark local authority, one of 67 primary schools in the borough. While it does not rank among the top three highest-scoring peers in the area — those being Boutcher Church of England Primary School, The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, and Riverside Primary School — it holds a solid Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2014. The school has shown clear improvement over time: its previous inspection in 2012 rated it Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management at 2 (Good) but early years provision and overall effectiveness both at 3. By 2014, leadership and management had been judged Good, and the overall effectiveness had risen to Good. An ungraded inspection in 2018 confirmed the school remains Good. For families in the Rotherhithe area, this is a school that has demonstrably turned around its performance and held steady since.
