About St Leonard's Church of England Primary School

St Leonard's Church of England Primary School is one of 59 state primary schools in Lambeth, and it sits in a competitive local landscape. According to the most recent ranking data, the school places 34th out of 54 Lambeth primaries when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That puts it in the middle of the pack, but it's worth noting that the three top-performing peers in the borough — Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, St Andrew's Catholic Primary and Stockwell Primary — all achieve ranking scores in the mid-90s, compared with St Leonard's score of 63. The school is one of 14 primaries in Lambeth rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the nearest Outstanding neighbour, St Andrew's Catholic Primary, is just 0.7 kilometres away. With 406 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is clearly popular, and 23 per cent of its children are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average.
