Crane Park Primary School
About Crane Park Primary School
Crane Park Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Hounslow that currently educates 454 pupils aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 99 applications for 46 places, with 44 of those being first-preference applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 15. This demand is understandable given the school's demographic context — 31. 8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is led by headteacher Alison Small and has no religious character. The school also has a dedicated SEN unit and offers provisions for a range of needs including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication, and social, emotional and mental health support.
