Chennestone Primary School
Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 5ED · Surrey · primary school
62nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.4/10 against 4,158 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Music and Storytelling Club, Musical Theatre Club, MCD cheerleading, Create Club, and NEDS Bakes. They play football and visit Tate Modern, the National Gallery, and the Isle of Wight for a residential trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 282 pupils in a building with 370 places, leaving 88 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the absence of a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 12.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the small class size resulting from the 88 spare places affect individual attention during lessons?
