Sherwood Park Primary School

About Sherwood Park Primary School

Sherwood Park Primary School in Bexley holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 58%. That figure is notably below the Bexley local authority average of 67%, placing the school 41st out of 55 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 58 reflects this, and it sits well behind local top performers like St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, which scored 95. In the individual subjects, 70% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and maths, while writing was slightly higher at 74%. However, only 4% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, suggesting that while most children achieve a solid baseline, stretching the most able remains a challenge.
