Knollmead Primary School
Surbiton, KT5 9QP · Kingston upon Thames · primary school
19th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.5/10 against 2,489 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 62% | 1.36 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 38% | 3.28 |
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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 16.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Bible, Cooking, Puzzles, Writing, Reading, Gardening, and Fitness clubs, play football, and sing in the choir. Trips include visits to Marchant’s Hill, Hogsmill River, Broadway, and Charrington Bowl. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 239 pupils in a school with 236 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist when it is over capacity? What support is offered to pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
