St Luke's Primary School

School overview

St Luke's Primary School is a primary school serving London, Newham, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England/Christian religious character. It has 216 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated St Luke's Primary School 'Good'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 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 among the top 2% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 33% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 41% 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. 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.
