Robert Owen Nursery School
About Robert Owen Nursery School
Robert Owen Nursery School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and an ungraded inspection in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Outstanding. For a nursery school, the most telling metric is the quality of early years provision, and in its previous graded inspection, this was judged to be grade 1 (Outstanding), alongside leadership and management. The school is one of only three Outstanding-rated nursery schools in the Greenwich local authority, out of five such schools in total. With 176 children aged two to four on roll, it is a relatively small setting, and just 4.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well below the national average for state nurseries. The school is led by headteacher Jo Graham.
