Best Primary schools in Southwark
We've ranked 75 primary schools in Southwark by KS2 reading, writing and maths (% meeting expected standard). The Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overie leads the list based on the latest available DfE performance data.
Rankings use KS2 reading, writing and maths (% meeting expected standard) from the Department for Education (2025 data). For secondary schools, Attainment 8 or grade 5+ English and maths are used only when Progress 8 is not published. All-through schools are included on primary and secondary pages. Schools without any published performance data are listed alphabetically below and are not included in the top 10. This is not a complete guide to school quality—visit individual school profiles and open days before choosing.
