About Southmead Primary School

Southmead Primary School in Wandsworth was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 43%. That is significantly below the Wandsworth local authority average of 68% for primary schools, placing Southmead 52nd out of 55 state primaries in the borough. In the national rankings, the school falls in the bottom 50% of all primaries, at the 88th percentile. The school’s ranking score of 43 reflects this gap, and it is worth noting that the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Our Lady Queen of Heaven RC School, is just 0.4 km away.
