About Coombe Hill Infant School

Coombe Hill Infant School received an Outstanding rating across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. The school was judged Outstanding for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This places it among a select group: only 10 out of 36 primary schools in Kingston upon Thames hold an Outstanding rating. The most telling exam metric for this infant school is its position within the local context. While the school itself does not publish Key Stage 2 results (its pupils move on to Year 3 at age seven), the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 66. The school's feeder relationship with the adjacent Coombe Hill Junior School, also rated Outstanding, suggests a strong academic pipeline. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive: 100% of the 122 respondents would recommend the school, with 83% strongly agreeing that their child is happy and feels safe.
