About Christ Church CofE Primary School

Christ Church CofE Primary School sits comfortably above the Kingston upon Thames average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 66%, this school achieves 80% — a significant gap that places it second out of 36 primary schools in the borough. That ranking puts it just behind Latchmere School and level with Alexandra Primary School in the local pecking order, and inside the top 25% of primaries nationally. The school is also oversubscribed by a wide margin: for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 178 applications, with 51 first-preference requests for just 50 offers. That kind of demand suggests local families see it as a strong bet, and the numbers back that up.
