About Reay Primary School

Reay Primary School is a primary school in LONDON, Lambeth, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 224 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 30% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 92% of the families who made Reay Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.43 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 24.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 48% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Reay Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
