About St Agatha's Catholic Primary School

St Agatha's Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Kingston upon Thames average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 72% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a local authority average of 66%. That six-point gap places the school 12th out of 36 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. Its ranking score of 72 also puts it within striking distance of the top three — Latchmere, Alexandra and Christ Church — which all score 80 or above. The school's maths results are particularly strong: 90% of pupils met the expected standard and 48% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 110. Reading is similarly robust at 93% expected and 55% higher, though writing lags a little at 72% expected and just 17% higher. For a Roman Catholic state primary with a below-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 13.4%, these are solid, if not spectacular, figures.
