About Shaftesbury Park Primary School

Shaftesbury Park Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Wandsworth, one of London’s most competitive local authorities for school places. Among 55 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 23rd, placing it comfortably in the top half. The three highest-ranked peers in Wandsworth are Sheringdale Primary School, Ronald Ross Primary School and Rutherford House School, all of which sit above it on the local league table. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Chesterton Primary School, just 0.6 kilometres away, which gives local families a strong alternative nearby. Shaftesbury Park itself has held a Good rating across its most recent inspections, including a 2023 ungraded visit that confirmed it remains Good. The school is led by headteacher Oshunbunmi Richards and serves 353 pupils, well within its capacity of 450. With 41.8 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a significantly more disadvantaged intake than the borough average, making its solid local ranking all the more notable.
