Ofsted statement 2023-2024

Bird in Bush School is Southwark’s newest Primary School offer to its local community.

The school is an amalgamation of two Southwark community schools, Camelot Primary School and Cobourg Primary School.

The school is linked to the unique reference number (URN) for Camelot School as it shares the school site for this school but in all other ways it is a new school. The rules on changing the URN are complicated and can be found here.

The Bird in Bush School Community awaits its first Ofsted Inspection at this time, which will inspect the 480 pupils+ and 70 staff+ currently working together to provide an exceptional quality of education at the school. 

Historic inspections linked to Camelot School, which ceased to operate as a school from August 2023 but which previously operated from the site can be found here. The inspection report for Cobourg School which closed with effect from August 2023 can be found here.

We request your support in acknowledging that our new school has developed out of a time of significant change as well as one in which striking and appropriate action has been taken to improve the quality of education for all the pupils of Bird in Bush Primary School.
