Local schools for local people

Lambeth has a shortage of secondary school places. That means too many children are left to travel miles across London, or their parents feel pressured into paying for their children to go private. We are determined to work towards providing a place in a good local school for every child that needs one.

Details of all the primary schools in Lambeth, including Ofsted reports and school performance tables.

School admissions

Starting school is a very important milestone in your child's life. Lambeth has a selection of excellent schools catering for a range of needs.

School governors

Governors have a key role to play in the drive to raise standards. Working within a complex legislative framework, governing bodies are required to promote high standards of educational achievement. They meet this requirement through strategic planning, target setting and performance monitoring and review.
