About Coombe Hill Junior School

Coombe Hill Junior 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 sits at 66%, Coombe Hill achieves 76% — a ten-percentage-point advantage that places it sixth out of 27 primary schools in the borough. That puts the school in the top quarter nationally for this metric. It’s a strong, consistent performer in a competitive local area, and the gap to the LA average is wide enough to suggest genuine academic strength rather than just a marginal edge. The school is also one of ten outstanding-rated primaries in Kingston, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 awarded top marks across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all rated outstanding. That’s a clean sweep that matches its previous outstanding rating from 2010.
