Charter Bermondsey Shines in New "Fairer" School Index

The Charter School Bermondsey has soared in the recently published Fairer School Index, ranking among the top 6% of over 3,000 schools nationally.

The results, revealed exclusively by the Mirror , show the schools beating the odds to make the most significant positive impact on pupils. This groundbreaking index, devised by Prof George Leckie of the University of Bristol, goes beyond traditional league tables by considering socio-economic factors, including the number of pupils receiving free school meals.

“Schools that beat the odds stacked against their pupils should be recognised as being high performing.” Henri Murison, CEO Northern Powerhouse Partnership

The Charter School Bermondsey delivers strong academic results, with recent Progress 8 scores of +0.08 and +0.29 exceeding national averages. The Fairer Schools’ Index shows just how impressive these outcomes are.

“This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire school community. We are committed to allowing every student to succeed, regardless of background.” Principal, Marcus Huntley

“We are thrilled to see our school recognised for its outstanding work. This achievement reinforces our belief in the transformative power of education in creating better futures for all students.” CEO of The Charter Schools’ Educational Trust, Cassie Buchanan

The Charter School Bermondsey’s success demonstrates that dedication, hard work, and a focus on equity can overcome challenges and build better futures for young people.

The school is a member of The Charter Schools Educational Trust; home to nine Good and Outstanding schools including The Charter School North Dulwich, The Charter School East Dulwich & Charles Dickens Primary School.
