The Priory CofE School at a glance

Located in London, Merton, The Priory CofE School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 179 pupils aged 3 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
