About schools in Richmond upon Thames
- How many schools are there in Richmond upon Thames?
- Richmond upon Thames has 83 open schools — 54 primary, 13 secondary, 4 special, 1 nursery, teaching 38,924 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Richmond upon Thames are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 55 of the 55 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 100% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 20 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 83: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Richmond upon Thames?
- 7.9 out of 10, averaged across the 65 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Richmond upon Thames schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 28 schools in Richmond upon Thames currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Richmond upon Thames local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Richmond upon Thames covers 83 schools and sits in the London region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Richmond upon Thames are eligible for free school meals?
- 15.0% — 4,298 of 28,652 pupils at the 60 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
