About Griffin Primary School

Griffin Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in the London borough of Wandsworth, serving children aged 3 to 11. It sits at the lower end of the local league table, ranking 49th out of 55 primary schools in the authority. The top-performing peers in the area — Sheringdale, Ronald Ross and Rutherford House — all score considerably higher on the ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Chesterton Primary, just 1.3 kilometres away. Griffin itself currently holds a Requires Improvement rating from its most recent graded inspection in November 2023, a grade it has carried across both its recent inspections. The school has 180 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is significantly under-enrolled, and a very high proportion of its intake — 68.3 per cent — is eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
