Coombe Hill Junior School
Kingston upon Thames, KT2 7DD · Kingston upon Thames · primary school
3rd 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 4,220 of them, against 8.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 20.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in November 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join book club, Spanish, gardening, coding, robotics, Love the Ball, and Busy Lizzy Creative Arts, alongside netball, football, rugby, basketball, and Fitness4Schools.
Getting in. The school has 357 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 3 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if a child leaves mid-year? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what are the options for parents who need extended care? How does the school support pupils in transitioning to secondary education given its Outstanding rating?
