Check the area around this school
6th of 28 primary schools in Kingston upon Thames we can score, 35 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.6/10 against 4,169 of them, against 8.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School
Overview
Christ Church New Malden C of E Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a nurturing environment where pupils are "happy and safe." The school’s Christian ethos is central to its culture, fostering a community where pupils are encouraged to support one another and maximise their potential. Leaders place pupils at the heart of the school, valuing their ideas and ensuring high expectations for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and balanced," with subject leaders breaking down aims into smaller learning steps to build understanding over time.
- Leaders prioritise reading, with most staff trained to teach early reading well, helping pupils develop "increasing fluency and accuracy."
- Pupils benefit from a nurturing culture, with staff feeling supported regarding workload and well-being.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff receiving regular training and knowing how to raise concerns quickly.
- Pupils are proud of their school, demonstrating courteous behaviour and a clear understanding of bullying and personal boundaries.
Areas to improve
- Some staff do not teach key learning explicitly enough in wider curriculum subjects, meaning not all pupils remember important knowledge well enough for future learning.
- A small number of staff are less consistent in utilising the intended strategies of the new phonics programme, requiring leaders to ensure these staff have sufficient confidence and subject knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with leaders providing up-to-date training and governors overseeing safer recruitment effectively.
