About Wyborne Primary School

Wyborne Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Greenwich average for state primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 71%, Wyborne’s figure is 54% — a gap of 17 percentage points. This places the school 56th out of 57 primaries in the borough, firmly in the bottom tier. The school’s ranking score of 54 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally by this metric. That said, individual subject scores tell a slightly more nuanced story. In reading, 75% of pupils met the expected standard, and 71% did so in writing — both respectable figures. The real drag comes from maths, where only 59% reached the expected level, and just 13% achieved a higher standard. No pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined.

Wyborne’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in March 2013, rated the school Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Good for early years provision. An ungraded inspection in December 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. The data shows no breakdown for behaviour, personal development or quality of education from that inspection, so it’s not possible to compare those areas. In terms of progress, the school does not publish Progress 8 scores for its pupils, so we can’t measure how much value it adds relative to other Greenwich schools. The 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results show a reading average score of 103 and a maths average of 101 — both just above the national baseline of 100, but not enough to lift the combined expected standard figure. With 18.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a slightly above-average proportion of disadvantaged children compared with the national primary average.

Wyborne is a three-form entry primary with nursery provision for children from age three, and it is oversubscribed: for 59 places in 2025/26, it received 125 applications, with 48 first-preference offers made. The school’s facilities include an ICT suite, music rooms, a chapel, playing fields and an outdoor playground. Sports on offer include football, cricket, rounders, tennis and cross country, while clubs range from drama and art to chess, coding and film club. The school has a broad SEND offer, with provisions for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disability, and social, emotional and mental health support. For families weighing up options, Wyborne’s strengths lie in its inclusive SEND support and its nursery provision, but the below-average combined KS2 results and low LA ranking mean it may not suit those prioritising top academic outcomes.
