Greenwich has emerged as the strongest-performing borough in south‑east London, according to the latest Department for Education results. With 72 per cent of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths during the 2024–2025 academic year, Greenwich sits well ahead of Bromley, Southwark, Lewisham and Bexley.

This year’s outcomes highlight a borough where high achievement is widespread, consistent and deeply embedded across its schools. Greenwich’s performance places it firmly at the forefront of primary education in the region.

Bannockburn Primary School stands out within a high‑achieving borough.

Among the many strong results across Greenwich, Bannockburn Primary School achieved 73 per cent, placing it securely within the borough’s upper-performing schools. The school’s success reflects its commitment to high‑quality teaching, strong leadership and a culture that supports every child to thrive.

As a trust, we are incredibly proud to have Bannockburn as part of our family of schools, and its performance this year is a testament to the dedication and expertise of its staff and community.

Why Greenwich’s results matter

To meet the expected standard, pupils must achieve the benchmark in all three subjects, reading, writing and maths, making these figures a robust indicator of overall attainment. Greenwich’s ability to outperform every neighbouring borough demonstrates:

• a stronger overall educational landscape
• more schools exceeding national expectations
• greater consistency across the borough, not just isolated high performers

This year’s results reinforce Greenwich’s position as a borough where educational excellence is the norm.
