Grinling Gibbons is an average-sized school which serves an ethnically diverse area of south-east London. Almost all pupils come from minority ethnic backgrounds, and many have a Black African heritage. More than half the pupils are at an early stage of learning English, which is very high. Nearly half are eligible for free school meals, and this is above average. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is just below average. These needs relate mainly to autistic spectrum disorders. The proportion with statements of special educational needs is broadly average. The school offers Early Years Foundation Stage provision in its Nursery and Reception classes. Childcare provision run by the local authority is also available on the school premises. This is subject to a separate inspection. The school has gained the National Healthy School award and the Investors in People award, among others.
