About schools in Wandsworth

How many schools are there in Wandsworth?
Wandsworth has 112 open schools — 72 primary, 13 secondary, 6 special, 3 nursery, teaching 41,050 pupils in total.
How many schools in Wandsworth are rated Good or Outstanding?
80 of the 83 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 96% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 25 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 112: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Wandsworth?
6.7 out of 10, averaged across the 91 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 Wandsworth schools have no Ofsted rating?
29 schools in Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth 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. Wandsworth covers 112 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 Wandsworth are eligible for free school meals?
33.4% — 10,473 of 31,372 pupils at the 81 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.
