Lovelace Primary School
Chessington, KT9 2RN · Kingston upon Thames · primary school
23rd 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 4,198 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 62% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 4.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Boo Theatre, Busy Lizzy Art Club, Debutots, French Club, iRock, Kings and Queens Chess Club, and Sketchbook. Sports include Chelsea Football, Gymnastics, Target Sports, Girls Football, Boys Football, Tag Rugby, Cross Country, and Athletics. Arts and music options are Don Rae Dance, Ruby Dance Club, and Country Dancing. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 530 pupils in a building with 630 places, leaving 100 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to close the gap with the national median in core subjects? How do the 100 spare places affect class sizes and resource allocation?
