About The Charter School Bermondsey

The Charter School Bermondsey is a Good secondary school in Southwark, a rating it has held since its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of 0.08, which places it in the ‘Average’ banding nationally. This means that, on average, pupils achieve broadly in line with expectations given their starting points. However, context matters: the school serves a community where 53.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and its Progress 8 score sits below the Southwark local authority average of 0.46. Within the borough, it ranks 17th out of 19 state secondary schools on this measure. The school has clearly improved since its previous inspection in 2015, when it was rated Requires Improvement, and its leadership and management are now judged Good.
