About schools in Greenwich
- How many schools are there in Greenwich?
- Greenwich has 102 open schools — 65 primary, 16 secondary, 7 special, 4 nursery, teaching 46,827 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Greenwich are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 77 of the 81 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 95% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 15 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 102: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Greenwich?
- 6.6 out of 10, averaged across the 88 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Greenwich schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 21 schools in Greenwich currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Greenwich local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Greenwich covers 102 schools and sits in the London region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Greenwich are eligible for free school meals?
- 31.8% — 13,758 of 43,260 pupils at the 88 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
