School Atlas lists 64 state primary schools, 11 state secondary schools, 4 all-through schools, 5 special schools, 1 alternative provision school and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Lewisham. It also lists 8 independent schools and 150 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 21 have a religious character: 11 Church of England and 10 Roman Catholic.
Of the 79 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Lewisham, 47 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 6 Outstanding and 41 Good.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 12 of these schools have had one.
Lewisham doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 44 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
