Check the area around this school
66th 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 — 6.9/10 against 4,250 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Frimley CofE School
Overview
Frimley CofE Junior School continues to be a good school, where pupils thrive within a strong sense of community. The report highlights that pupils have "extremely positive attitudes to learning" and achieve highly in subjects such as English and mathematics. While the curriculum is broad and well-designed in many areas, the inspection identifies specific inconsistencies in how learning is sequenced across the full range of subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate a "strong work ethic" and maintain a "clear focus" in lessons, responding well to adults’ high aspirations.
- Teachers possess "strong" subject knowledge and present information clearly, ensuring pupils, including those with special educational needs, learn new information effectively.
- The school has an "absolute passion" for reading, with targeted support for phonics being "highly effective" and discussions about texts being "highly insightful".
- Pupils behave well, speak politely, and feel safe, supported by a culture where adults provide help for any worries or concerns.
- Wider development is a "real strength," with pupils benefiting from carefully planned opportunities, extra-curricular clubs, and leadership roles that enhance their learning and ambition.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum content is not sequenced well enough, preventing pupils from making connections and deepening their understanding.
- Key aspects of the curriculum in a small number of subjects are not covered in sufficient depth to ensure pupils develop detailed knowledge and skills consistently.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
