About Snowsfields Primary School

Snowsfields Primary School outperforms the Southwark local authority average for primary schools by a clear margin. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 68%. That eleven-point gap places the school 12th out of 67 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 79 puts it well ahead of the typical Southwark primary, though it sits below the very top tier — the nearest outstanding school, The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, is just 0.7 km away. Still, for a school with nearly half its pupils (49.7%) eligible for free school meals, these results are notably strong and suggest effective teaching across the board.
