Collis Primary School
About Collis Primary School
Collis Primary School is a large state primary in the London borough of Richmond upon Thames, currently home to 703 pupils against a capacity of 732. That near-full school serves a relatively affluent catchment: only 7.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is intense. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 270 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of three applications per spot. Of those, 109 were first-preference applications, and all 90 offers went to first-preference families. The school has no religious character and offers nursery provision from age three. Kevin Hogston is the headteacher. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in April 2025, the school was judged Outstanding across all five graded areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That continues a strong track record, as the school also held an Outstanding rating in its previous inspection.
