Check the area around this school
167th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.6/10 against 1,740 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.01 |
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 Cordwalles Junior School
Overview
Cordwalles Junior School continues to be a good school, where leaders embed values of ‘respect, endeavour and succeed’ into daily life. Pupils thrive in a ‘safe and nurturing environment’, developing resilience, confidence, and a strong love of learning. The curriculum is ambitious and well-sequenced, ensuring pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Staff maintain high expectations for behaviour, resulting in pupils who ‘conduct themselves well’ and trust staff to resolve disagreements effectively.
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious for all pupils including those with SEND’, with staff skilfully adapting resources so that pupils with special educational needs achieve well.
- Leaders successfully promote a ‘love of reading’, with teachers checking skills carefully and encouraging regular reading, making pupils ‘keen and enthusiastic readers’.
- Pupils benefit from a ‘rich and broad range of experiences’, including outdoor learning, clubs, and activities celebrating diverse cultures and abilities.
- Governors and trustees share leaders’ ambitions, providing extensive professional development and working to ease staff workload.
Areas to improve
- Some staff teaching phonics lack the necessary knowledge and skills to help the weakest readers catch up quickly.

Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with an ‘extremely strong culture of keeping pupils safe’ and staff who are well trained and alert to risks.
