Check the area around this school
17th 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 — 9.7/10 against 1,665 of them, against 9.8/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 35.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The report highlights a "clear and purposeful vision" driven by ambitious staff who deliver a broad curriculum in a "caring and nurturing way," resulting in strong pupil engagement and achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s values of "love, kindness and respect," are "exceptionally well mannered," and build strong friendships across the school.

Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the school does not always use assessment information effectively, hindering teachers from rectifying misconceptions or identifying gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
- Teachers do not always understand pupils’ different starting points in these subjects, meaning learning is not always as strong as it could be because issues are not addressed securely.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
