Check the area around this school
165th 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 — 5.6/10 against 3,864 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Beaufort Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 7.0% of pupils, matching the national median of 7%. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.7 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in January 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 469 pupils against a stated capacity of 480. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

How does the new inspection framework’s separate grading affect day-to-day teaching priorities? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
What Ofsted said about Beaufort Primary School
Overview
Beaufort Primary School is described as a "friendly and welcoming" environment where pupils "enjoy coming" and feel safe. The report states that pupils "make secure progress through the curriculum" and typically achieve "in line with the national average" at the end of key stage 2. Leaders are praised for their "ambitious" vision and for ensuring that disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive "well-considered support."
Strengths
- Pupils "behave well throughout the school," showing "pride in their work" and benefiting from "kind, warm and respectful" relationships with staff.
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," with a "high priority" placed on reading, ensuring pupils who need extra help "catch up quickly."
- Leaders "identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils quickly and accurately," providing timely and effective interventions.
- Staff wellbeing is a "firm focus," with staff feeling "appreciated, supported and positive about working at the school."
- Pupils engage in a "wide range of enrichment activities," developing "resilience" and preparing positively for life beyond school.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure staff are trained to help disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND develop "fluent handwriting, writing and mathematics skills."
- Teachers need to "check and address consistently the key gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding" before introducing new learning to deepen achievement.
- Leaders should use attendance data "more sharply" to reduce persistent absence, particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that "safeguarding standards are met," noting an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and that concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
