St Andrew's Church Of England Primary School

Welcome to our small, successful and happy church primary school, recognised by Ofsted as good with an outstanding curriculum. St Andrew's is a very welcoming school and we are known for our friendly, family atmosphere. We have excellent relationships with our families and know our children very well - one of the many advantages of being a small school.

Governors work in partnership with the Executive Headteacher and school staff to promote high standards and to drive the strategic direction of the school. The full Governing Body meets at least 3 times a year with termly business and strategy meetings. In addition, the Governing Body delegates certain responsibilities to our Achievement Committee, our Resources Committee and our Pay Committee.

The purpose of the Partnership is to enable both schools to work together to share expertise and resources and to offer inspirational teaching to our children in the local community. Our aim is to inspire our children to become confident individuals who are excited about learning and curious about the world they live in.

St. Andrew's is proud to be part of the Oval Learning Cluster which comprises of twelve schools; nine primaries, a secondary school, two special schools and three Children's Centres.

Since 2009 we have been working together and in partnership with a range of other organisations, including local charities and voluntary and community groups, local businesses, the Primary Care Trust, arts organisations, the School Sports Partnership, adult education providers and the City Learning Centre to provide learning opportunities for children and their families in the Oval Ward area of Lambeth.

School Direct is a highly successful school based route into teaching. As a School Direct trainee training with St. Andrew's CE Primary School (or one of our partner schools) and our ITT provider, Teaching London: LDBS SCITT, you will learn alongside inspiring, passionate teachers with outstanding pedagogical skills.
