About Streatham Wells Primary

Streatham Wells Primary stands out sharply against the Lambeth average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 66%, this school achieves 83% — a full 17 percentage points higher. That gap is significant and consistent across individual subjects too: 90% of pupils meet the expected standard in reading, 87% in maths and 87% in writing, all well above the LA norm. The school also ranks 8th out of 54 primary schools in Lambeth, placing it in the top 15% locally and the top 8% nationally. For a state primary with 234 pupils and a 24.2% free school meals rate, these results are notably strong and suggest the school is delivering well above what the local context might predict.
