About Telferscot Primary School

Telferscot Primary School sits comfortably above the Lambeth average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 72% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 66%. That six-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and the school’s ranking of 20th out of 54 primary schools in Lambeth places it in the top 40% of the borough. Its overall score of 72 on the same metric puts it within the top 50 nationally by tier. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2025, awarded Outstanding across every category judged — quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This is the second consecutive Outstanding rating for Telferscot, following a previous inspection in 2014 that also judged overall effectiveness as Outstanding. For parents comparing options in Lambeth, the school’s headline metrics suggest it is performing reliably above the local norm, though it is not among the very highest-scoring primaries in the borough.
