St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School

St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School is performing very well. A full inspection in April 2026 found all evaluated areas at a strong standard, with safeguarding standards met. Pupils achieve highly across a broad and ambitious curriculum, including above national average outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. Disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities make progress that is just as positive as their peers, and pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Attendance is above the national average and improving, behaviour is excellent, and pupils are friendly, polite and respectful. The curriculum is carefully sequenced, reading sits at its heart, and teaching is highly effective, with staff adapting work skilfully to meet individual needs. Inclusion is a notable strength: needs are identified early, support is precise and adjusted when needed, and additional funding is used well. Leadership and governance are strong, staff feel valued, and governors provide meaningful support and challenge. Personal development and wellbeing are also strong, with a rich programme, pupil voice through a pupil parliament, and responsive pastoral support. The school is a Church of England junior school in the Diocese of Southwark with 347 pupils on roll. The inspection identified no major weaknesses, but leaders' next steps are to continue improving attendance, especially for disadvantaged pupils, and to continue raising disadvantaged pupils' achievement in mathematics. Overall, pupils flourish in a caring, inclusive environment and outcomes are high.
