About St Edmund's Catholic Primary School

St Edmund's Catholic Primary School in Richmond upon Thames holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 82%. That is six percentage points above the local authority average of 76% for primary schools, placing St Edmund's 14th out of 46 similar schools in the borough. The school's overall ranking score of 82 puts it in the top 10 nationally, and within Richmond it sits 13th out of 38 schools. While the school does not match the top performers in the area — St Richard Reynolds Catholic Primary and Deer Park School both score 93 — it comfortably outperforms the typical local primary. The most recent graded inspection in 2012 rated leadership and management as Good, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
