Check the area around this school
5th of 11 secondary schools in Richmond upon Thames we can score. 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 — 9.1/10 against 811 of them, against 9.0/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 71.2 · 91 | 46% | 4.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.67 · 90 | 38% | 3.46 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 56.8 · 88 | 15% | 1.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Progress 8 stood at +0.67 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place.

Leaders have created a ‘highly ambitious and broad curriculum’ that is systematically organised, enabling pupils to build ‘deep knowledge over time’ and achieve ‘very strong outcomes’.
Strengths

- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils who have ‘previously found it difficult to participate’ now contributing well to their learning.
Areas to improve
