Collis Primary School has been rated Outstanding in all areas in its latest Ofsted inspection.

The judgement recognises the exceptional education provided at Collis, underpinned by strong leadership and an ambitious, well-sequenced and broad curriculum.

Following the inspection last month (April), inspectors praised the happy pupils and their love of learning, their exemplary behaviour, high attendance, and the safe, supportive setting in which they thrive.

They added that children are happy and achieve highly across the curriculum.

Parental support for the school was off the scale, with 482 responses completed on the Ofsted Parent View form.

This represents every family of the 700 pupils that attend the school.

One parent said: "I can't praise the staff highly enough."

While another commented: "As a parent, I couldn't be happier. Collis builds a sense of community and provides an incredibly grounded education."

Inspectors also highlighted the new school building, excellent resources, extensive facilities, and the impressive grounds.

Collis School is situated on a very large site (31,000 sq. m) in Teddington, which includes its own swimming pool, astro turf sports zone, nature area, a huge playing field, well-being room, meditation room, music and art rooms, and nursery and reception classrooms with dedicated outdoor Early Years learning environments.

Additionally, reading was recognised as a strength in the inspection, starting in Nursery through to Year 6, supported by two wonderful libraries.

Results and pupil outcomes are particularly high at the Teddington school with the school results in 2024 above both national and Richmond averages.

Early Years has wonderful provision and a large, all-year-round nursery. The school is strong both academically and in supporting pupils' social and well-being needs.

Collis School still has a few Nursery places available for September 2025 admission. Interested applicants should email [email protected].
