Carshalton Park

Carshalton was a local government district in north east Surrey from 1883 to 1965 around the town of Carshalton. The parish of Carshalton adopted the Local Government Act 1858 in 1883 and a local board was formed to govern the town. The Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the area as an urban district, and an elected urban district council replaced the local board. In 1933 the boundaries of the district were altered after the abolition of Epsom Rural District.The district was abolished in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963 and the former area was transferred to Greater London to be combined with that of other districts to form the present-day London Borough of Sutton.Carshalton Urban District Council were granted armorial bearings by the College of Arms on 14 May 1952. The basic colours of the shield were gold and red, from the arms of the Mandeville family who anciently held the manor of Carshalton. The chevron in the centre of the arms was derived from the arms of the Gaynesford and Scawen families. On the chevron was placed a heraldic fountain for the many springs and pools of the town, with on either side a silver sprig of oak. The oak sprigs came from the arms of Surrey County Council. The lions appeared in the arms of three local families: Burgersh, Fellowes and Hardwick. The greyhound was from the Gaynesford family arms, and also depicted the historic Greyhound Inn. The crest above the shield featured a mural crown as symbol of local government. On this was placed a Tudor rose, the symbol of the UDC prior to 1952. From the crown rose a swan, based on the Bohun swan, the heraldic badge of the Bohun family. In the swan's beak was a sprig of beech symbolising Carshalton Beeches.The council met in the Carshalton Council Offices in The Square. The building has been Grade II listed since 1974.

It won the 2012 London Design Award for new build at the Education Business Award.An OFSTED inspection from July 2013 rated the school with 'Requires Improvement' - although teaching, leadership and behaviour were rated 'Good'. In 2014, teachers leading a school trip were accused of "fighting in front of the children and shouting offensive comments at each other". One parent reported that "There was another girl who wasn't very well on the trip and they couldn't find the teacher who had their medication because they had gone drinking". The school claimed that it had carried out a "thorough and detailed investigation".The school was named the "Best Secondary School" in the country in the Times Educational Supplement (TES) 2016 Awards. TES described the school as having achieved "remarkable outcomes for its student body by focusing on igniting their passion for learning." The judges were "impressed by the creative, ambitious and supportive culture fostered at Stanley Park". They noted: "At a time of huge pressure on schools, the submission from Stanley Park High made it obvious that the welfare and wellbeing of the children comes above anything else."However, by 2018, the school had been listed as one of "England's worst schools" in the Daily Mirror, based on Department for Education data.The school introduced a compulsory numberplate scheme for student cyclists in September 2018 which attracted widespread criticism. Olympian Chris Boardman said that the governors should step in, while Cycling UK described it as "part of a trend of head teachers trespassing on parental responsibilities". London Cycling Campaign described the measure as “bizarre” and “disproportionate”The latest OFSTED report, from February 2019, rated the school as ‘inadequate’, the lowest rating available. Underachievement of pupils, inadequate teaching, poor management and substandard development for pupils were all highlighted, although the report also stated that recent changes in leadership had the potential to rectify the situation.
