Darley Dene Primary School

Addlestone, KT15 2NP · Surrey · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.4/10 Broadly average

116th 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.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.7/10 against 2,066 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a breakfast club and an after-school club. Trips include a sleepover, an outdoor residential trip, and a city break.

Getting in. The school has 229 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Because the school is over its stated capacity, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 19 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is available for the 7.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How are the residential trips organised for families with varying budgets?
