About Graveney School

Graveney School sits in the London borough of Wandsworth, one of five state secondaries in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted out of a total of 13 schools of its type. It ranks third among its local peers, behind Ashcroft Technology Academy and Ark Bolingbroke Academy, based on a composite ranking score of 0.74. The school is the nearest Outstanding-rated secondary in the area, located within a kilometre of its catchment. With 2,343 pupils on roll, it is a large mixed 11-18 school with no religious character, led by headteacher Cynthia Rickman. Its position in the local landscape is strong but not dominant — it competes directly with two higher-ranked academies while still holding the top Ofsted grade, which places it among the best-regarded state schools in Wandsworth.
