Check the area around this school
19th of 38 primary schools in Richmond upon Thames we can score, 45 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 — 8.9/10 against 1,727 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 41% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 27.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.46 |
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 Sheen Mount Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are “happy and are kept safe” and can “thrive” in a positive environment. Leaders maintain “high expectations and ambitions for all pupils,” resulting in students who are “mature, hard-working and achieve well.” The inspection highlights exceptional behaviour and personal development, noting that pupils are “extremely well prepared for the next stages of their education and for life in modern Britain.”
Strengths
- Behaviour is “exceptional,” with pupils displaying “high levels of self-control and maturity” and being “kind to each other.”
- Early reading is prioritised through a “strong and well-embedded phonics programme,” ensuring children become “confident, fluent readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive a “highly personalised approach to learning” with knowledgeable staff support.
- Personal development is promoted extensively, helping pupils understand “the rule of law and democracy” and respect diversity.
- Staff are “highly positive about the school leadership” and feel their workload is “considered.”
Areas to improve
- In history, art and design, and modern foreign languages, leaders must ensure the curriculum is “better sequenced so that pupils develop a deeper understanding over time,” as key knowledge is not always ordered clearly enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with safeguarding “interwoven into the culture of the school and curriculum” and leaders being “proactive” in offering help to vulnerable pupils.
