Stillness Junior School
About Stillness Junior School
Parents thinking about Stillness Junior School will want to know what other families make of it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 73% of the 126 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a solid majority, though it leaves over a quarter who wouldn’t. The picture gets more interesting when you dig into the detail. On the question of whether their child is happy, 89% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed, and 93% felt their child was safe. The school’s capacity is 360, but it currently has 273 pupils on roll, meaning it is not oversubscribed. That could be a practical advantage for families applying in-year or for a Year 3 place, as there is likely to be space. The school is a state primary for ages 7 to 11 in Lewisham, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Mitzi Nichol.
