Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Latchmere School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Latchmere School

Latchmere School is a primary school in Kingston upon Thames, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 728 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 14% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Latchmere School their first choice was offered one of its 73 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 22.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Latchmere School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
