Every primary school in SE26 and SE23 passes literacy and numeracy benchmark, many with flying colours.

This year’s primary school tests (showing basic numeracy and literacy amongst pupils) have resulted in every local primary schools in our area passing the government’s benchmark.

Under new rules, all schools are supposed to ensure at least 60 per cent of 11-year-olds reach the standard expected for their age group in English and Maths.

Every school in SE26 and SE23 passed this standard and most exceeded the benchmark by a pleasingly large score. 1,000 primaries (around 12% of the total) failed to make the mark.

Here are the results for local schools showing the combined scores for English and Maths (60% is the benchmark)
