About Merton Park Primary School

Merton Park Primary School is one of ten state primary schools in the Merton local authority to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing it in the top quarter of the 44 primaries across the borough. The school sits alongside strong local peers: Benedict Academy, Park Academy, and St Mary's Catholic Primary School all rank highly in the area, with Park Academy just 0.3 kilometres away. Headteacher Claire Dixon leads a mixed, non-selective school of 270 pupils aged four to eleven, and the school's most recent graded inspection in April 2025 awarded Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a consistent record: the previous inspection in 2015 also rated the school Outstanding overall. For families weighing up options in Merton, this is a school that has maintained the highest Ofsted grade across two inspections a decade apart, and it sits in a cluster of similarly high-performing primaries.
