About Stoneydown Park School

Stoneydown Park School is a popular choice for local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 239 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.66. Of those, 91 families put it as their first preference, and 86 of them were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in Waltham Forest. The school’s most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2023, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. With 611 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, it’s running very close to full, which is another sign of its standing in the community. The headteacher, Adam Bennett, leads a mixed, non-religious primary that also offers nursery provision for children from age three.
