About St George's CofE Primary School

St George's CofE Primary School in Lewisham is a Church of England state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and its headline Key Stage 2 results stand well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lewisham average of 64% — a gap of 13 percentage points. That performance places the school 9th out of 59 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school is also notably strong at the higher standard: 20% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, while 60% hit the higher mark in reading alone. These are strong figures for a school where 46.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, suggesting that outcomes here are not simply a reflection of a privileged intake.
