Against London and Southwark
Track: London's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = London median; S = Southwark median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.
London state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).
Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the London median, red = in London's worst 10%.
Money: Compared only with academies' accounts (AAR), same academic year.

Getting in
Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.
First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.
Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.
Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.
Inspections
OutstandingReport card
Dates are the day each inspection started: May 2026 Report card, lowest Strong · Jun 2022 Outstanding · Nov 2009 Outstanding · Sep 2006 Outstanding. Each dot opens its Ofsted report. Report cards and 2024–25 inspections have no overall grade: the badge takes the lowest area's colour.
Report-card areas graded Exceptional or Strong standard, and Needs attention or Urgent improvement, out of the areas graded; Expected standard counts as neither. Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.
Source: Ofsted, state-funded schools inspections and outcomes.
Pupils
Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (1,130 places), from Get Information about Schools.
Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.
Workforce
School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 77.5, leadership 9.9, teaching assistants 14.86, support staff incl. TAs 41.8, whole workforce 119.3 (124 people), 80 teachers by headcount.
Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.
Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.
- DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
- DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
- Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads
Financials
Academy accounts (AAR) · September 2024 to August 2025.
Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.
CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.
Destinations
Students who finished the stage in the cohort year, followed through the next year: sustained = at least six months in education, an apprenticeship or employment
