South Park Primary School is a primary school located in Ilford in the London Borough of Redbridge. The headteacher is currently Mr D Rae, and has been so since 2001. The school is notable for being one of the oldest primary schools in the borough, being opened in January 1908, and preparations are underway for centenary celebrations in 2008.

Its catchment area covers a large part of the southern area of Redbridge and some areas of the surrounding boroughs, and the school has a large intake with nearly 800 pupils on roll. Ofsted has recently described it as a good school, where "personal development is outstanding" and "behaviour is exemplary".
