Check the area around this school
151st of 203 primary schools in Surrey we can score, 296 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.0/10 against 2,673 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Ashford Park Primary School is judged to be ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report describes a ‘calm and orderly environment’ where pupils are ‘fully included and well cared for’, achieving well through an ambitious curriculum and highly effective reading instruction.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious for all pupils’, with ‘precisely considered’ key content and helpful adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Staff possess ‘expert knowledge’ of teaching, using routine checks to identify learning gaps and provide ‘high-quality interactions and individualised support’.
- The teaching of reading is ‘highly effective’, ensuring pupils become ‘fluent and accurate readers’ through a detailed phonics programme and engaging book selection.

Areas to improve
