Check the area around this school
25th 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 — 2.0/10 against 1,668 of them, against 2.0/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
King's Oak Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, the school’s figure was 5.0% against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.0 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Board Games, Coding, Multi Sports, Football, Athletics, Choir, and Dance clubs. The school also provides a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 393 pupils against a stated capacity of 736. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the current 38.0% attainment and the national median? What specific strategies are used to raise the 5.0% higher standard figure? How does the school manage class sizes given the significant difference between current roll and total capacity?
What Ofsted said about King's Oak Primary School
Overview
King’s Oak Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as happy and proud. Leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, ensuring that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive specialist support and access the full curriculum. The school fosters a kind environment where pupils treat each other with care and contribute positively to school life.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate kindness and care, helping peers who are upset and playing sensibly together.

- Early reading teaching is well structured and effective, helping pupils catch up and develop fluency despite weaker national phonics outcomes.

Areas to improve
