About Sherington Primary School

Sherington Primary School sits comfortably above the Greenwich local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 78% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 71%. That seven-point gap places the school 14th out of 57 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% locally. The school’s overall ranking score of 78 reflects solid, consistent performance across the core subjects, though it falls short of the very top tier — the three highest-ranked primaries in Greenwich all score 85 or above. What stands out is that Sherington achieves these results without being a selective or faith school, and with a proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (16.3%) that is typical for a diverse London state primary. The school is oversubscribed by a considerable margin — 225 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake — which suggests local parents recognise the value on offer.
