About St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School

St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School in Kingston upon Thames is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently home to 347 pupils against a capacity of 360. That near-full roll suggests the school is comfortably popular without being oversubscribed to the point of strain. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12.1 per cent, which is a useful benchmark: it's below the national primary average of around 23 per cent, indicating a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider country, though still representing a meaningful minority of children. The school's Church of England character is woven into its fabric — there's a chapel on site — but admissions are open to all, and the school's mixed gender, non-selective status means it draws from a broad cross-section of the local community. With 36 primary schools in the borough and 10 rated Outstanding, competition for places at the top tier is real, but St Andrew's and St Mark's holds its own.
