Kingston upon Thames, KT1 2SG · Kingston upon Thames · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
7.0/10 Above average

8th 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 — 8.1/10 against 4,314 of them, against 8.0/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 73.0 · 73 40% 2.93
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 20.0 · 92 25% 2.30

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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Forest School, Yoga, Science, Art, Drama, Choir, and Group Singing clubs. Sports include Football, Dodgeball, Multi Sports Coaching, and Cheerleading. Arts and music options cover Sewing and Craft and Dance. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 210 pupils in a building with 262 places, leaving 52 spare places. 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 do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Forest School sessions? How are the 52 spare places managed to ensure class sizes remain small?
