Description
Graveney School is leading State Secondary school in London. This is a Non-selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Mixed
Graveney is a very special place. With roots dating back to the 17th century, we occupy a beautiful campus style site with an eclectic selection of buildings the most recent of which was built in 2019, winning a prestigious architectural award and incorporating an observatory for our students of Astronomy. Visitors tell us that our school has a ‘university feel’, quite unlike that of any other inner city school.Graveney is a happy school. The quality of relationships between adults and students and between students themselves can be seen across the school. There is a rich diversity of students here, with 60 different languages spoken at home and a very broad socio-economic, cultural and ethnic mix that is very much reflective of the community in Tooting that we serve. This widely diverse group of people work harmoniously and happily together which makes Graveney feel safe and means that everyone feels that they can belong.

YEAR 9 NEXT STEPS
This is an important and exciting time for Year 9 pupils as they begin to consider the next steps in their educational journey – their Key Stage 4 courses. Pupils have had a series of virtual Loom assemblies informing them of the different GCSE and Btec subjects available to them and our Next Steps booklet that outlines in detail the Next Steps process, as well as providing further information about each subject.
SIXTH FORM PROSPECTUS
With over 700 students in our sixth form, we can offer a wide and exciting range of level three courses, including 32 A Level subjects. They are very proud of the provision we offer which can be explored by viewing other areas of the Sixth Form section.
