Alexandra Park School

North London contact school

Alexandra Park School opened in 1999 with the aim of creating a great comprehensive school at the heart of the community. We have become that great local school offering top-class education alongside a wealth of experiences for all our students.

We are a traditional school with an ethos of core values and an innovative edge. One of the reasons we are so successful is that we do not shy away from tough decisions. We enforce our behaviour policy and uniform code, whilst insisting upon healthy eating and refusing to tolerate mobile phones! Childhood is a magical time and we want our students to grow and develop in a safe, healthy and supportive environment.

This focus on traditional educational values does not however prevent the school from being outward-facing and at the forefront of the changing world of education. We have a plethora of awards; we do not go out to collect them, but they indicate our priorities and our commitment to being the very best at everything we do.

We are part of the teaching school hub and continue to lead the recruitment and training of the very best teachers into the profession. We hold ‘World Class School’ status, the new standard in education for schools that have moved beyond OFSTED outstanding. Whilst we hold the Prince’s Teaching Institute Award for all three core subjects, English, Maths and Science, we are equally proud of our Artsmark & School Games Gold standard, reflecting our diverse, creative and lively musical, artistic and sporting talents. We are one of only a handful of Confucius Schools that lead a national programme to develop Mandarin learning within UK schools. As a Science and Maths specialist school, both subjects are thriving and we lead on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) training across London. We have been appointed as the regional coordinator for science teacher development for the whole of London. We are also an Ogden Physics School, opening the door to an array of engaging scientists and universities that inspire our students.

Our passion for education and learning runs through all our subject areas. We are so very proud of our school, our staff, our students and our achievements to date.
