Check the area around this school
68th 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 — 6.7/10 against 3,780 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 38% | 2.36 |
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 Cranmere Primary School
Overview
Cranmere Primary School is described as a place where values such as respect and curiosity run like a "golden thread through every aspect of school life." Pupils feel safe, supported, and enthusiastic about their learning, benefiting from a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that fosters strong outcomes at the end of key stage 2. The inspection highlights a calm, orderly environment with effective leadership and a strong commitment to pupil well-being.
Strengths
- Staff foster "warm, respectful relationships" with pupils, ensuring they feel "supported and valued" and promoting a positive focus on mental health.
- The curriculum makes "strong links across subjects," helping pupils build a "connected body of knowledge" with clear learning goals.
- Recent improvements in supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have had a "positive impact on learning," using well-designed strategies.
- Mathematics teaching is "highly effective," enabling pupils to develop a "deep and secure understanding" of key concepts and enjoy problem-solving.
- The phonics programme is "well structured," with staff using checks effectively to ensure pupils who need help receive timely support.
Areas to improve
- In a couple of foundation subjects, pupils do not make "secure connections" or recall learning as well as they could; the school must ensure curriculum development helps pupils remember and connect learning to achieve exceptionally well in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
