About St Luke's Church of England Primary School

St Luke's Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Lambeth, ranking 31st out of 54 primary schools in the borough. Its headline Key Stage 2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 64%, which is just two percentage points below the local authority average of 66%. That places the school in the 57th percentile within Lambeth, a solidly mid-table position. Nationally, it falls around the 47th percentile, meaning it performs broadly in line with the average primary school across England. What is more striking is the school's context: 60% of its 180 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, so these results represent genuine value added. The school is oversubscribed, with 40 applications for just 12 places in the 2025/26 intake, suggesting strong local demand despite the middling headline scores.
