About Knollmead Primary School

Knollmead Primary School in Kingston upon Thames has been rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating. The inspection, which took place in 2025, awarded the top grade for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This places the school among a select group — only 10 out of 36 primary schools in the local authority hold an Outstanding rating. On the most informative exam metric available, 69% of Knollmead’s Year 6 pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just above the Kingston upon Thames local authority average of 66%, confirming the school is performing solidly within a competitive local context. The school ranks 16th out of 27 primaries in the borough on this measure, placing it in the top half locally.
