Barnsbury Primary School and Nursery
Woking, GU22 0BB · Surrey · primary school
148th of 203 primary schools in Surrey we can score, 298 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 4,349 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.1/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 41% | 1.70 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 26% | 1.03 |
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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 4.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Arty Crafty, Magical Math's, Mindfulness, Science, and Spanish. Sports options cover Martial X, Ball Sports, Chelsea FC, Cardinals Football, Dodge Ball, Tag Rugby, and London TKD. Holly's School of Dance offers street dance for Key Stages 1 and 2. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 457 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 37. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 37 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the main school day for families needing care?
