We are a well-liked Roman Catholic elementary school located in Lewisham Center. As we pursue excellence in everything we do, we are dedicated to assisting all the children entrusted to our care in realising their full potential. Our progress scores on the Year 6 SATs in reading and math in 2017 placed us in the top 10% of schools nationwide. Every child may reach their potential when they are in a caring, nurturing atmosphere, thanks to the hard work of our excellent staff, kids, families, and governing body. In nursery, young children get off to a great start, developing a very solid foundation of independence and social skills. We can provide your child with an excellent music programme in addition to academic lessons, giving them the option to perform locally with our school chorus or learn a variety of musical instruments. As part of our varied curriculum, we can also provide Italian classes and a specialised PE coach. In the words of our most recent Ofsted, "Teachers move lessons forward at a good pace, setting realistic timeframes and inspiring vibrant learning," and "Behavior in lessons is invariably flawless, allowing pupils to learn without interruption." At St. Saviour's, kids progress very well over time, and our most recent Key Stage Two results are above the national average and improving! Furthermore, our achievements transcend far beyond test results. Our kids are confident and content, and they frequently receive praise for their conduct, politeness, and social graces. They are inspired to push themselves, grow their abilities, and strive to be the best version of themselves. Every accomplishment is celebrated, and every need is met. Please call to set up a visit so you may take a tour and decide for yourself. Please visit the website to view samples of our students' work as well as videos of our 70-member choir in action! .
