Check the area around this school
20th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,279 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.2/10 nationally. 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Green Lane Primary and Nursery School
Overview
The inspection found that pupils at Green Lane Primary and Nursery School are “positive, hardworking and polite” and feel safe within a community that values high expectations. Leaders have designed an “ambitious curriculum” that supports all learners, including those with special educational needs, through logical sequencing and enrichment activities. The school is rated as Good across all inspection categories, with particular praise for its effective reading provision and strong personal development programmes.
Strengths
- Reading is a clear priority, with staff well-trained to teach phonics accurately using closely matched books, resulting in most pupils becoming “fluent, confident and accurate readers”.
- The curriculum is “logically sequenced” to help pupils embed important knowledge, such as in mathematics and computing, preparing them for increasingly complex learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “swiftly and accurately identified” and well supported to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Personal development is well considered, with pupils undertaking resilience training and taking on responsibilities, such as leading eco-committee projects.
- Staff are “overwhelmingly positive” about the support they receive, noting that leaders manage workload and well-being effectively.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not consistently check what pupils have learned, meaning “errors and misconceptions are not routinely identified and addressed” and remain in some pupils’ understanding.
- Assessment systems for the broader curriculum are at an “early stage of development,” leaving subject leaders unclear about the curriculum’s impact in certain areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to recognise risks and share information with agencies to ensure pupils receive swift support.
