The data shows the percentage of students who are achieving above a Grade 5 in English and Maths.
A Grade 5 is roughly equivalent to a high C or low B under the old grading system.
This data helps identify schools where students performed better than the national average.
Below, we’ve listed Lewisham secondary schools and the percentage of students who achieved above a Grade 5 in English and Maths.
Independent and special schools are not included.
As there are no grammar schools in Lewisham, none have been listed.
A school’s percentage doesn’t always reflect its overall quality, as factors like selectivity, student numbers, and intake ability can all have an impact.
For example, some schools are selective grammar schools, so they will rank higher as students are admitted based on academic ability.
This means they are already high achievers, which can lead to better results.
In contrast, non-selective schools have students with a wider range of abilities, which can affect their progress scores differently.
Overall, schools in Lewisham were below the national average on the percentage of young people achieving higher than a Grade 5 in Maths and English.
The national average of state-funded schools is 45.2 per cent and in Lewisham that figure is 44.6 per cent.
