About St Stephen's CofE Primary School

St Stephen's CofE Primary School sits in Lewisham, a borough where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score sits at 64. The school's own KS2 results are not provided in the data, so a direct comparison against that LA average isn't possible from the figures available. What is clear, however, is that the school is significantly oversubscribed: for 25 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 55 applications, with exactly 25 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 2.2 to one suggests strong local demand, even without published exam scores. The school also stands out for its Church of England character, which may appeal to families seeking a faith-based primary option within the state system. With 37 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, St Stephen's serves a notably diverse catchment, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three, offering continuity through to Year 6.
