Cobham Free School
Cobham, KT11 1TF · Surrey · all-through school
23rd of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 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 824 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 54.5 · 73 | 30% | 2.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.53 · 85 | 25% | 2.12 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.1 · 81 | 10% | 0.81 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
