What the school inspection says

“Pupils thrive at this school. They are happy, safe and achieve very well. Staff and pupils uphold the school values of responsibility, resilience and respect. By the end of Year 11, pupils are very well prepared for the next steps in their education, whether it be in the school’s popular sixth form or elsewhere … Pupils benefit from a broad and rich curriculum which is enhanced through the study of additional subjects such as astronomy and vocational courses in Years 9, 10 and 11. Pupils are focused and eager to learn. They appreciate the many sporting opportunities and other activities such as debating and chess … Pupils take great pride in their school.”

About the school

Orleans Council School opened in 1910 and changed its name to Orleans Park in 1973, when it moved to its present location in four acres of the former Orleans House estate.
That house was named for Louis-Phillippe, Duke of Orléans, the penultimate monarch of France, who lived there in exile during the first half of the 19th century.
There are four school houses, named Kew, Hampton, Richmond and York.
The sixth-form centre was named after and opened by the long-time local David Attenborough in 2015. His brother, Richard, had opened a previous extension in 1993.
Alumni include the actors Joe Anderson and Rufus Sewell, and the rugby player Heather Cowell.
