Located in Richmond-upon-Thames, Richmond upon Thames, St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. The school educates roughly 212 pupils aged 4 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Outstanding' at its most recent inspection. 77% 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 10.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 9% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 20% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 86% of the families who made St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
