Esher Church School
Esher, KT10 9DU · Surrey · primary school
32nd 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 the 2,601 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2/10 among them, against 8.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join STEM, Linguistics, Gardening, Forest School, and Chatterbox French clubs. Sports include hockey, tennis, football, rugby, netball, gymnastics, cricket, and swimming. Arts and music features the Drama Academy and Mini Dance Performers. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 394 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 26 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 25.0% who reached the higher standard to continue their progress? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving into the 26 remaining places?
