Morden Mount Primary School

About Morden Mount Primary School

Morden Mount Primary School is a popular choice among Greenwich families, with 36 first-preference applications for its 38 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning virtually every family who put it first got a spot. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 81 total applications for those 38 places — an oversubscription ratio of 2.13 to one. While we don’t have a direct parent recommendation percentage from the data, the strong first-preference demand suggests a solid local reputation. Headteacher Stephen Harris leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The school has capacity for 450 pupils and currently enrols 394, so there is some room to grow. Just over a third of pupils (36.5%) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the diverse, urban community the school serves in the London Borough of Greenwich.

Academically, Morden Mount’s most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2023 rated it Good across all five categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is consistent with its previous Good rating from 2014, though leadership and management has moved from Outstanding to Good in that time. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 60% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the Greenwich local authority average of 71%. The school ranks 52nd out of 57 primary schools in the borough on this measure, placing it in the bottom half locally and around the 58th percentile nationally. Individual subject scores show 72% of pupils met expectations in both maths and writing, and 66% in reading. At the higher standard, 23% achieved in maths and reading, while 15% did so in writing, and just 8% across all three subjects.

The school offers a practical range of facilities including an ICT suite, art studios, a sports hall, playing fields and a chapel. Sports provision covers netball, swimming, cricket and athletics, while after-school clubs include drama, chess, film club and science club. For families with children who have additional needs, Morden Mount provides support for a wide spectrum of SEND, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech, language and communication needs, social, emotional and mental health difficulties, visual impairment, multi-sensory impairment, and moderate learning difficulties. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Wingfield Primary School, 2.7 km away. Morden Mount suits families who value a Good-rated, inclusive community school with strong first-preference demand, a broad range of clubs and SEND support, and who are comfortable with academic results that sit below the local average.
