About King's Oak Primary School

King's Oak Primary School in Kingston upon Thames holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2018 rated overall effectiveness as Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed that the school 'remains Good'. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 48%. This is notably below the Kingston upon Thames local authority average of 66%, placing the school 26th out of 36 state primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when looking at individual subjects: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 67% did so in both maths and writing, with average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 105 in maths.
