About St Stephen's Church of England Primary School

St Stephen's Church of England Primary School in Lambeth presents a mixed picture when set against the local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 66 per cent, but St Stephen's sits at 52 per cent, a gap of 14 percentage points. That places the school 46th out of 54 primary schools in Lambeth on this metric, firmly in the bottom half of the borough. However, the picture is not uniformly below par. In writing, 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and in reading 76 per cent did, both comfortably above the combined figure. Maths is the weaker subject, with 66 per cent at expected and only 10 per cent reaching the higher standard. The school's overall Ofsted rating of Good, awarded in its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and confirmed as maintaining standards in an ungraded visit in November 2024, reflects a school that has improved significantly from its previous Requires Improvement rating.
