About Southwark Primary School

Southwark Primary School sits within the Nottingham local authority, a large primary with 648 pupils that ranks 45th out of 72 schools of its type in the area, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers nearby include St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy, and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding is St Teresa's, about 2.8 kilometres away. Southwark itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2014, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2023 where it was judged to have remained Good. That's a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2011, but the school has held steady since. With 45.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a community with above-average disadvantage, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
