Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy

School overview

Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy is a primary school serving Sutton, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 919 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 3% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 31% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 99% of the families who made Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 2.06 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 25.0 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
