About Singlegate Primary School

Singlegate Primary School in Merton has been rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in November 2023. That includes the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged to be the highest possible grade. This is a school that has clearly sustained high standards; its previous inspection in 2009 also awarded an Outstanding overall effectiveness rating. On the most informative exam metric available, 77% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Merton local authority average of 68%, placing Singlegate 10th out of 42 primary schools in the borough and within the top 25% nationally. It’s a strong, data-backed story of consistent academic performance.
