About St Paul's CofE Primary School, Kingston Hill

St Paul's CofE Primary School, Kingston Hill, delivers key stage 2 results that sit comfortably above the Kingston upon Thames average, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 66%. That seven-point gap places the school 11th out of 27 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top half of local schools. The school's overall Ofsted rating is Good, following an ungraded inspection in May 2024 that confirmed it remains Good, though its early years provision was judged Outstanding. This represents a change from its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Good across the board, and before that an Outstanding rating in 2014. For parents weighing up options in a competitive London borough, St Paul's offers above-average academic outcomes without being among the very top performers — a solid, reliable choice rather than a headline-grabbing one.
