All schools in Lambeth ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ according to Ofsted.

Lambeth has a breadth of excellent maintained schools to choose from, with a large variety of offers, such as A-levels, T-Levels and more.  

Councillor Ben Kind, Member for Children, Families and Education said: “This is a fantastic reflection of the hard work of Lambeth’s teachers, school leaders, and families. Every secondary school in Lambeth being rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ shows what can be achieved when strong local leadership, dedicated staff and a shared commitment to opportunity come together. 

“Our schools don’t just provide an excellent education – they’re at the heart of their communities. Choosing a local school means choosing a place that knows and supports every young person to thrive. It also means shorter journeys to school, stronger community connections, and a real sense of belonging. 

“Parents can be confident that, wherever they live in Lambeth, there is a great school on their doorstep.” 

Parents have until 31 October to submit their Secondary School choices, for their young person. 

You can find your local school on the Lambeth Website
