The Chair of the Education and Children's Service Committee has said that Richmond is the "best in class," following the announcement that the Borough had made the 'Times top 500' list.
Marshgate Primary School in Richmond managed to rank the highest score at 34, followed by Barnes Primary and Holy Trinity C of E Primary School.
Sixteen primary schools from across Richmond were chosen to be onto the list - which highlights the best schools for primary education, in the UK.
Cllr Penny Frost, Chair of the Education and Children’s Services Committee, said: “Once again, our borough’s schools are showing that we are best in class…quite literally.
"It shows, that despite tight financial constraints, our schools continue to deliver first-class education and strive to continue to do the best for every pupil.”
