About St Bartholomews's Church of England Primary School

If you’re comparing primary schools in Lewisham, St Bartholomew’s Church of England Primary School sits slightly below the local authority average for the key headline metric. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) is 58%, compared with the Lewisham average of 64% for primary schools. That six-point gap places it 39th out of 59 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half locally and the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture isn’t uniformly middling. In reading, 71% of pupils met the expected standard and the average reading score was 105, which is above the national benchmark of 100. Maths tells a similar story, with an average score of 102 and 63% reaching the expected level. The school’s ranking score of 58 reflects that the combined RWM figure drags the overall position down, but individual subject scores suggest solid foundations in literacy and numeracy.
