About St Mary's Hampton Church of England Primary

St Mary's Hampton Church of England Primary sits in a strong local authority for primary education, and its own headline metrics put it comfortably ahead of the Richmond upon Thames average. In the most recent Key Stage 2 results, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 76%. That five-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school 16th out of 38 primaries in the borough, just inside the top half. The school is also oversubscribed by a wide margin — 90 families applied for 22 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 21 first-preference offers made — which suggests it holds a strong reputation among local parents. The school's Ofsted rating is Good, a grade it has held across its two most recent inspections, with all inspected areas rated Good in the 2024 graded inspection. That consistency, combined with results that beat the LA average, makes St Mary's a solid, reliable choice for families in the Hampton area.

Digging into the detail of the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school's strengths are clear. In reading, 95% of pupils met the expected standard and 48% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 109. Maths was similarly strong: 86% at expected, 57% at the higher level, and an average score of 109. Writing was the relative weak spot — 81% at expected and 19% at the higher level — but still in line with the combined measure. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 10% of all primaries on the expected standard metric, and within London it sits in the top 21%. The parent view is overwhelmingly positive: 93% of respondents would recommend the school, and 96% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there. On behaviour and safety, the picture is similarly strong, with 92% agreeing or strongly agreeing that pupils feel safe. The only area where parents expressed notable dissatisfaction was SEND support, where 33% disagreed that children with special needs get the help they need — a figure worth investigating further if your child has an identified need.

The school is a Church of England primary with a strong set of facilities for its size, including a library, sports hall, gymnasium, playing fields, a forest school area, a sensory room and a chapel. Sports on offer include football, netball, swimming, cricket, athletics, rounders and cross country, and there are clubs for choir, drama and gardening. The school has identified SEND provisions for a range of needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health support. With 169 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is not at full capacity, but the oversubscription figures show demand is high. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Hampton Junior School, just 0.3 km away, which may be worth considering for families who want a different Ofsted grade. St Mary's suits families who value strong academic outcomes in a faith-based setting, who are happy with a smaller school, and who are confident their child's needs will be met within the mainstream classroom.
