The school converted to become an academy school on 1st April 2011 under the management of the Cheam Park Farm Junior School Trust. It has not previously been inspected as an academy school. When its predecessor school, also called Cheam Park Farm Junior School, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be good overall. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils eligible for the pupil premium, at around one in eight pupils, is lower than average. This additional government funding is used to support pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority. Around one third of pupils come from minority ethnic heritages. This proportion is a little higher than average. Pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds with no one group predominating. Around a quarter of pupils speak English as an additional language. This proportion is a little higher than average. About one tenth of pupils are disabled or have special educational needs. This proportion is a little higher than average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
