Check the area around this school
75th 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 3,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
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 Boxgrove Primary School
Overview
Boxgrove Primary School is described as a “vibrant, inclusive and aspirational school community” where pupils are “happy” and “thrive.” The inspection highlights a “thoughtful and well-sequenced approach to curriculum design” and “exemplary” behaviour, with pupils leaving “confident, compassionate and well prepared for their next steps.”
Strengths
- The “Boxgrove journey” ensures pupils benefit from “enriching experiences” and live out values of being “resilient, ambitious and caring.”
- Early years provision is “excellent,” with routines “swiftly and effectively established” so children are “exceptionally well prepared for the transition into Year 1.”
- Teaching is rigorous, particularly in early reading, where pupils “consistently achieve extremely well” and enjoy a “strong reading culture.”
- Personal development is “carefully woven throughout school life,” helping pupils understand “equality, equity and respect for differences.”
- Leaders and governors are “committed to providing high-quality learning,” and staff feel “highly valued.”
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, “learning tasks do not build effectively on pupils’ prior knowledge,” meaning pupils do not deepen their understanding or develop skills as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
