About St Paul's CofE Primary School

St Paul's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in the Kingston upon Thames local authority, a borough with 36 primary schools in total. It sits 23rd out of 27 in the LA's KS2 rankings, placing it in the bottom half of local primaries. The three highest-scoring peers in the area are Latchmere School, Alexandra Primary School, and Christ Church CofE Primary School, all of which rank notably higher on the same metric. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. With 202 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is close to full, and its 7. 4 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average, reflecting the relatively affluent local catchment.
