About The King's Church of England Primary School

The King's Church of England Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Richmond upon Thames, with 84% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with the LA average of 76%. That eight-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and it places the school 7th out of 38 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 20% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 6% of all primary schools, which is a strong showing for a state primary. The school is oversubscribed — 135 applications for 60 places in 2025/26, with 66 first-preference applications — which suggests it has a good reputation among local families. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated overall effectiveness as Good, a step down from the Outstanding it held in 2017, but the inspectors still awarded Outstanding for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes, which tells you something about the culture inside the school.
