Grove Park Primary School
About Grove Park Primary School
Grove Park Primary School sits in the London borough of Hounslow, where it ranks third out of 44 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top five in the local authority. The three schools ahead of it are St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary School, Belmont Primary School, and St Mary's Catholic Primary School in Chiswick, all of which are strong performers. Grove Park is one of only seven primary schools in Hounslow rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a distinction it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections. Its most recent graded inspection, in October 2024, awarded top marks across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school is led by headteacher Rachel Davies and caters for 433 pupils aged three to eleven, with a nursery on site. It is a mixed, non-religious state school, and its capacity of 446 means it is very close to full, with just 13 spare places.
