About St John's and St Clement's Church of England Primary School
St John's and St Clement's Church of England Primary School sits in Southwark, one of 67 primary schools in the borough, and it has carved out a strong position for itself. In the local authority's rankings based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, it places 15th out of 60 schools, putting it in the top 25 per cent. That's a solid showing, though it sits behind the three top-performing peers in the area: Boutcher Church of England Primary School, The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, and Riverside Primary School. The school is also one of 17 primaries in Southwark currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a status it earned in its most recent graded inspection in October 2024. Headteacher Alli Crank leads a school with 376 pupils on roll, slightly under its capacity of 420, and 18.9 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals.
