St Elphege's RC Junior School
About St Elphege's RC Junior School
If you’re comparing St Elphege’s RC Junior School against the average for Sutton primary schools, the headline metrics tell a clear story. The school holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, a distinction shared by only 12 out of 42 primary schools in the borough. That alone puts it in the top tier locally. More telling is the context: the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 69, and while the school’s own KS2 data isn’t provided here, its consistent Ofsted performance suggests results that comfortably exceed that benchmark. The school has held a Good rating since at least 2011 and was upgraded to Outstanding in its 2015 graded inspection, with a subsequent ungraded visit in 2021 confirming it remains Outstanding. For a junior school taking pupils from age 7 to 11, that trajectory signals a sustained focus on quality that stands out even in a high-performing London borough like Sutton.
