Merton Park Primary School is a welcoming maintained primary school with a nursery where pupils are happy, proud and consistently excellent in their behaviour. The inspection found all key judgements to be outstanding, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This was the school's first routine inspection since the COVID-19 pandemic and, under the current framework, no overall effectiveness grade was given; its previous inspection grade was outstanding. The report highlights a highly ambitious and well-structured curriculum, expert teaching and effective adaptation for pupils with SEND. Children get an excellent start in the early years, reading and phonics are taught strongly, attendance is high, and pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment and leadership opportunities. Leadership, governance and staff support are strong, and safeguarding arrangements are effective. No areas of concern or next steps for improvement are identified in the report.
