Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
7.6/10 Above average

9th of 31 primary schools in Sutton we can score, 41 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 4,001 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 6.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 63.0 · 46 40% 1.86

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 6.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lingotots French Club, Chess Club, Dramabuds Saturday Classes, Snow Herons Karate, Stagecoach Unity Allstars Cheerleading, and Soundsteps Free Piano and Keyboard Sessions. Sports include football, basketball, street dance, gymnastics, and multi-sports, while arts and music cover singing, violin, piano, and guitar. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 1034 pupils in a building with 865 places, meaning it is over capacity by 169. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How do parents arrange transport or care before and after school hours?
