*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.

About the school

The school opened in 1713 as a “bluecoat” charity school attached to St Mary Magdalene church. Pupils still wear blue blazers today.
The St Mary Magdalene CofE school merged with Edward the Confessor Catholic school in 1978 to form the present-day Christ’s School.
Pupils are assorted into houses that are named after notable people who have connections with Richmond: Attenborough, Dickens, Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth I) and Turing.
The school has its own podcast, as well as a newsletter.
Former pupils include the R&B singer Estelle and the football players Jason Roberts and Clinton Morrison.
