Sheringdale Primary School

About Sheringdale Primary School

Sheringdale Primary School’s headline metrics place it well above the Wandsworth local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) sits at 68%, Sheringdale achieves 93% — a full 25 percentage points higher. This performance also ranks the school first out of 55 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 2% nationally. The school’s Ofsted rating of Outstanding, confirmed in its most recent inspection in 2024, aligns with these results, with inspectors awarding the top grade across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. It’s worth noting that the school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2014, suggesting sustained high standards over a decade.

Digging into the 2023/24 KS2 results, the picture is consistently strong. In reading, 96% of pupils met the expected standard and 58% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 110. Maths tells a similar story: 95% met expectations, 60% hit the higher threshold, and the average score was also 110. Writing saw 96% at expected and 42% at greater depth. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three RWM subjects was 38%. Parent feedback from the Parent View survey (covering September 2024 to September 2025) reinforces this academic confidence: 95% of the 132 respondents would recommend the school, and 90% agreed or strongly agreed that their child does well here. The school’s ranking score of 93 places it ahead of its nearest peers in Wandsworth, including Ronald Ross Primary School (90) and Rutherford House School (89).

Sheringdale is a three-form entry primary with nursery provision, but demand far outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, there were 339 applications for 59 places, with 100 first-preference applications and 56 offers made to first-preference families — an oversubscription ratio of 5.75 to 1. The school is significantly over its stated capacity of 397 pupils, currently housing 425. Facilities include art studios, a forest school, a sensory room, a gymnasium, and a chapel. SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. However, the Parent View data on SEND support shows a mixed picture: 67% agreed or strongly agreed that SEND children get the support they need, but 28% disagreed or strongly disagreed. This school will suit families who prioritise strong academic outcomes and a well-regarded local school, but who are prepared for a competitive admissions process.
