STATUS
• 83% of Lambeth school children view themselves positively as learners and
try their best at school compared with 81% London-wide (TellUs2 Survey
2007).
• 55% of Lambeth school children enjoy school always or most of the time
compared with 58% for London (TellUs2 Survey 2007).
• Lambeth children would welcome more help with their studies from families
and friends, somewhere quieter at home to do homework, more help from
teachers and less noisy and disruptive classes (TellUs2 Survey 2007).
• Attendance levels at primary schools stand at 94.5% overall in Lambeth, a
0.8% improvement. Primary attendance levels are below the national
average of 94.8% for 2006-07.
• Attendance levels at secondary schools stand at 92.5% overall in Lambeth,
a 0.3% improvement. Secondary attendance levels are 0.3% above the
national average of 92.2% for 2006-07.
• Lambeth has a higher permanent exclusion rate in secondary schools of
0.36% of school population compared with London (0.32%) and England
(0.24%) respectively.
• Population projections from the GLA and analysis of current school rolls
indicate that there will be a shortfall in both primary and secondary school
places across Lambeth by 2015. The GLA’s projection for primary school
places indicate that 17 forms of entry will needed by 2017 to meet the
demand.
• A Primary School Places Expansion Project has been initiated to examine
options for addressing the projected shortfall in primary places. It is working
alongside the creation of a Primary Estate Master Plan which, by October
2008 will have produced a strategy for the expansion of Lambeth’s primary
estate to meet the rising demand for primary school places.
• Lambeth was the first London Council to start construction of secondary
schools under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Programme in
January 2007. By 2013, the Lambeth BSF programme will have created an
additional 2,370 secondary school places, including a new 180 place
school.
• 40% of Lambeth primary schools are now offering the full core of extended
services, exceeding the national target by 33%.
• Only 1 primary school currently requires special measures. Prior to this
judgement, no Lambeth schools had been in the category of concern for the
previous five years.
• 75% of schools inspected were judged as Good or Outstanding by
OFSTED.
• Lambeth’s value-added measure improved this year from 100.3 to 100.6.
• 67% of Lambeth primary schools achieved a positive value added score for
Key Stages 1 and 2.
• 11 schools are in the top 5 percent of schools in the country in terms of
value-added.
