A warm welcome to Orion Eden Park and thank you for your interest in our school. We are a large comprehensive school based in a modern and well-resourced building in Beckenham, in London. Transport links to Central London and across the south of the capital are excellent, and continue into Kent, Surrey and Sussex.



We serve a thriving and diverse local community, and our key aim is to drive social mobility and transform lives through delivering a high-quality education focused on outcomes and personal development. A minimum of 20% of students in every year group are from disadvantaged backgrounds; our aim is to provide all students that study at Orion Eden Park with the experiences, life skills and qualifications that open doors for whatever comes next, whether that be further academic study, college, apprenticeship or the workplace.



We want our students to be able to disagree amicably, to persuade with passion, and to recognise that great societies are formed not through identifying differences between constituents but through celebrating the commonalties that form the glue that binds us together.
