St Richard's Church of England Primary School

Richmond, TW10 7NL · Richmond upon Thames · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.7/10 Broadly average

34th 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.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 1,534 of them, against 6.0/10 nationally. 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 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62

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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for choir, cookery, crochet, gardening, and karate. Sports include basketball, football, netball, summer sports, in-school swimming, and cross country. Trips visit Grays Farm, Southwark Cathedral, PGL, and Thames Young Mariners. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 153 pupils in a building with 250 places, leaving 97 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 are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
