Check the area around this school
57th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,073 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.6/10 among them, against 7.8/10 nationally. 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Auriol Junior School
Overview
Auriol Junior School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a school that “fosters a caring ethos” where pupils behave well and enjoy their learning. Leaders ensure that pupils receive an effective education, with high expectations and precise support for those facing barriers to learning.
Strengths
- The school prioritises reading, “precisely check[ing] on how well pupils read” to help them become “confident, fluent readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified quickly and receive “strong help and support” to learn alongside peers.
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and “well-organised,” with teaching that helps pupils “remember content long term and connect ideas together confidently.”
- Attendance is high, and the school takes “swift, decisive action” to support families when absence becomes a concern.
- The school prepares pupils for later life “exceptionally well,” encouraging them to “embrace and persist with challenge” through sports and leadership opportunities.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not make explicit “how essential knowledge and skills are built upon over time,” causing pupils to struggle to connect previous learning.
- The school should identify the specific knowledge and concepts pupils need to learn and revisit in all subjects to ensure they “build their knowledge securely.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
