About Upland Primary School
Upland Primary School in Bexley was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024, with inspectors singling out two areas as Outstanding: behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year, where 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Bexley local authority average of 67%, placing Upland 20th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. The school also performs well at the higher standard, with 15% of pupils reaching that level across all three subjects. In reading, 42% of children achieved the higher standard, and in maths the figure was 43%, with average scores of 108 and 107 respectively. The school’s ranking score of 72 places it in the top 50 nationally for its performance metric, though it sits just outside the top third of London primaries.
