Check the area around this school
27th 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 — 1.9/10 against 1,683 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Robin Hood Primary and Nursery School
Overview
The report describes Robin Hood Primary and Nursery School as a ‘welcoming and friendly place’ where pupils are ‘polite and generally show positive attitudes to their learning’. Leaders have designed an ‘ambitious curriculum’ that supports all pupils well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they are ‘well prepared for the next stage of their education’.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe and understand the school’s values of being ‘ready, resilient and responsible’, which guide their interactions.
- The curriculum is ‘broad and ambitious’, with leaders identifying precisely what pupils need to learn and when.
- Systems for identifying pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are effective, with appropriate support implemented.
- Early years provision helps children develop foundational knowledge, such as mathematical skills through ‘counting, number rhymes and matching numbers to resources’.
- Staff effectively teach early reading, using books ‘closely matched to what they have been taught’ to help pupils practise new knowledge.
Areas to improve
- The school should enhance strategies to improve attendance, as a ‘significant proportion of pupils do not attend school regularly’.
- Teaching needs to be more consistently focused on addressing gaps in pupils’ learning to ensure all achieve as well as they could.
- In some instances, early years provision does not help children to be ‘fully engaged in planned activities’, causing them to miss out on important learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
