About Kew Riverside Primary School

Kew Riverside Primary School is a small state primary in Richmond upon Thames with just 92 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, meaning it is operating at under half its potential size. That undersubscription is notable given the school’s location in a sought-after London borough, but the admissions data tells a more nuanced story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.24. However, only eight of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not the top choice for most local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40.2%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and well above the Richmond upon Thames average, indicating a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its neighbours. This is a school that serves a genuinely mixed community, and its small size means each child is likely to be well-known to staff.
