About St Anne's & Avondale Park Nursery School

St Anne's & Avondale Park Nursery School is a small state nursery in Kensington and Chelsea, with just 43 pupils on roll. That number is well below its capacity, which suggests the school has room to take on more children in its 3-5 age range. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 48.8%, which is notably high — more than double the national average for state-funded nursery and primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This makes the school a significant provider of early years education in a relatively affluent borough, serving a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and is led by headteacher Ben McMullen. Despite its small size, the school appears to be in demand locally, though the data does not indicate whether it is oversubscribed. It is one of only four nursery schools in the local authority, and three of those — including St Anne's — have been rated Outstanding at some point, though the most recent inspection tells a slightly different story.
