Check the area around this school
16th 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 — 6.6/10 against 4,143 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 St Agatha's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Agatha’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a warm and welcoming environment where pupils feel happy and safe. The report highlights an ambitious curriculum that prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education, supported by staff who prioritise well-being and maintain high expectations for behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils’ behaviour is described as “excellent,” with rare incidents of bullying dealt with swiftly due to consistently applied high expectations.
- The curriculum is “broad and exciting” in most subjects, with knowledge and skills carefully sequenced to build over time, such as in history and art.
- Reading is a high priority, with effective support systems in place to help struggling pupils catch up, increasing their “reading fluency and confidence.”
- Pupils demonstrate “positive attitudes to their learning,” asking insightful questions and showing curiosity and interest.
- Leaders and governors work closely together to ensure the curriculum is “continuously refined and improved,” with staff well supported to implement changes.
Areas to improve
- The school should provide further training to ensure the agreed phonics programme is implemented with accuracy, as some staff do not model sounds consistently.
- The school must ensure each subject is coherently designed and sequenced, as in a few subjects the curriculum does not build as sequentially, limiting deep knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
