About Wyvil Primary School and Resource Bases for Speech, Language and Communication Needs, and Autism

Wyvil Primary School and Resource Bases for Speech, Language and Communication Needs, and Autism sits in a challenging position compared with the Lambeth average for primary schools. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 66 per cent, but at Wyvil just 29 per cent of pupils achieved that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is a significant gap, and it places the school at the very bottom of the Lambeth rankings — 56th out of 59 primaries. Nationally, it sits in the bottom three per cent of schools on this metric. The school’s ranking score of 29 out of 100 reflects this. However, the context matters: nearly half of pupils (49.2 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and the school operates dedicated resource bases for pupils with speech, language and communication needs and autism, which skews the cohort profile.
