About Hampton Hill Junior School
Hampton Hill Junior School sits in a competitive local authority where the average Key Stage 2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 76%. The school’s own figure of 70% is a touch below that LA average, though it’s worth noting that Richmond upon Thames is a high-performing borough overall. Where Hampton Hill does stand out is in maths: 84% of pupils met the expected standard and the average scaled score of 107 is solidly above the national benchmark. The school’s ranking of 27th out of 38 primary schools in the LA places it in the bottom third locally, but its national percentile of around 30th means it’s still comfortably above the median for England. For parents weighing up options, this is a school that performs respectably in a strong area, rather than one that leads the pack.
Looking closer at the 2023/24 results, 11% of pupils reached the higher standard across reading, writing and maths, which is a modest figure but not unusual for a school with a 19.2% free school meals rate. Reading and maths both averaged a score of 107, while writing saw 75% hitting the expected level and 18% achieving greater depth. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across the board, with leadership, behaviour, personal development and the quality of education all judged to be Good. That’s a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2011, but the inspection team clearly found no major weaknesses. The Progress 8 data isn’t available here, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds, but the raw scores suggest pupils leave with a decent foundation for secondary school.
The school has a strong practical offer: a forest school, playing fields, a sports hall and even a chapel on site, plus clubs ranging from coding to film and choir. Its SEND provisions are notably broad, covering dyslexia, speech and language needs, autism and social, emotional and mental health support, and it also has a resourced provision. With 333 pupils against a capacity of 366, it’s not oversubscribed to the point of being impossible to get into, but places will still be competitive in a popular borough. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Hampton Infant School and Nursery, just 1.4 km away, so families moving up from there may well consider Hampton Hill a natural next step. This is a solid, well-resourced junior school for families who value breadth of activity and inclusive support over headline exam scores.
