About schools in Lambeth
- How many schools are there in Lambeth?
- Lambeth has 95 open schools — 61 primary, 18 secondary, 7 special, 5 nursery, teaching 35,469 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Lambeth are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 68 of the 74 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 92% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 22 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 95: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Lambeth?
- 5.9 out of 10, averaged across the 86 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 Lambeth schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 21 schools in Lambeth 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 Lambeth 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. Lambeth covers 95 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 Lambeth are eligible for free school meals?
- 39.5% — 13,102 of 33,183 pupils at the 86 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.
