About Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy

Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy is one of Sutton’s strongest state primary schools, ranking 5th out of 33 primaries in the local authority and sitting comfortably in the top 10% nationally. It shares the upper echelons of Sutton’s league table with Cheam Fields Primary Academy, Westbourne Primary School and Cheam Common Junior Academy, all of which score marginally higher on the same ranking metric. The school is also one of only 12 primaries in Sutton to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2019. In its most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025, inspectors confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 362 applications for 115 places, with 99 first-preference offers made. That works out at more than three applicants for every place, a clear signal of its reputation among local families.
