Parents looking for the best primary schools in Bexley can now see how local classrooms compare, after new rankings were published by School Guide.
The independent website has released its latest list of the borough’s highest-rated state primary schools using official government performance data, Ofsted reports and parent reviews.
Unlike league tables based on a single measure, School Guide combines Key Stage 2 results, attendance figures and feedback from families to produce an overall score for each school.
Topping the Bexley list this year is St Stephen's Catholic Primary School in Welling, which achieved one of the highest overall ratings in the borough.
In its last inspection in October 2023, the school on Ruskin Avenue was rated Outstanding, with inspectors highlighting strong leadership, pupil behaviour and academic performance.
Results at Key Stage 2 are consistently above the national average, and high attendance levels reflect strong engagement from pupils and families.
The school has performed strongly across a range of measures, reflecting both academic outcomes and positive feedback from parents.
Most schools in the top 10 were rated Good or Outstanding at their last inspection, many of which took place before Ofsted scrapped its one-word grading system in September 2024.
School Guide says its rankings are designed to give families a simple snapshot of how schools perform locally using publicly available data rather than opinion alone.
These are the 10 highest-rated primary schools in Bexley according to School Guide:
- St Stephen's Catholic Primary School, Welling
- Upton Primary School, Bexley
- Burnt Oak Junior School, Sidcup
- Danson Primary School, Welling
- Foster's Primary School, Welling
- Hurst Primary School, Bexley
- Days Lane Primary School, Sidcup
- Sherwood Park Primary School, Sidcup
