Welcome to Shaftesbury Park, an award-winning, innovative community primary school in the heart of Battersea.
Our diverse intake and inclusive ethos, based on our deep understanding of the United Nations Convention Rights of the Child, has enabled us to develop a mutually respectful and positive learning environment where our pupils are encouraged to play a valuable role in our school, the local community and the wider world.
Our use of an International Curriculum to teach subjects in a comprehensive, thematic and creative way instills international mindedness and encourages self-directed learning within our pupils. From this foundation, our children have the choice of learning in either a Bilingual or Enterprise stream.
Our teaching is dynamic and ambitious, empowering our children to think about the world they live in, broaden their horizons and to contribute to causes that can change and improve their world.
