About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School and Nursery

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School and Nursery sits in the London borough of Lewisham, where it ranks second out of 59 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it ahead of all but Haberdashers' Hatcham Free School, which tops the local table, and just above Eliot Bank Primary School and St Margaret's Lee CofE Primary School, both of which share the same ranking score. The school is one of only ten primaries in Lewisham currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted in at least one area, though its overall effectiveness is Good. Its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024 confirmed that the school remains Good, while the early years provision was judged Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Downderry Primary School, 1.3 kilometres away. With 225 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry it received 60 applications for 30 places, and all 28 first-preference applicants were offered a spot.
