201st 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 the 3,379 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.34 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Epsom Primary and Nursery School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. An inspection in March 2026 used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 2.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join coding, cheerleading, NS-Sports, and street dance clubs, visit Farnham Museum, and attend an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 422 pupils against a stated capacity of 600. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Epsom Primary and Nursery School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are "happy and safe" in a "welcoming and inclusive" environment. Leaders have made "significant improvements" to behaviour, curriculum, and outcomes, with most pupils achieving well and being "well prepared for the next stage of their education."
Strengths
- Pupils gain "secure foundations in language, communication and vocabulary," with phonics outcomes now "above the national average."
- Behaviour is "calm and orderly," supported by "consistent routines and positive relationships" that create "focused and purposeful classrooms."
- The early years provide a "positive and settled start," with an "ambitious and carefully designed" curriculum that builds logically from age two.
- Inclusion is effective, with "precise" support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in the specialist provision, 'The Treehouse'.
- Staff workload is protected, and leaders "take practical steps to listen carefully," resulting in positive staff morale.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the pupil premium strategy is "understood by all staff, implemented consistently and evaluated effectively" so disadvantaged pupils achieve well.
- Assessment in the wider curriculum needs strengthening to help teachers "check pupils’ understanding and adapt teaching appropriately" to address knowledge gaps.
- Governors’ monitoring needs to become "sharper" to assure them that the curriculum and targeted funding have a positive impact.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
