Check the area around this school
186th 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 4,240 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 41% | 1.31 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.26 |
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 Hawkedale Primary School
Overview
Hawkedale Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "cheery and cordial" and exhibit "impeccable" conduct. The report highlights a strong sense of community, noting that "staff care deeply about the pupils and the school feels like a family." Leaders have successfully managed the school’s expansion into a primary school while maintaining high standards of behaviour and personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "excellent behaviour," treating others with kindness and ensuring "nobody tolerates any bullying."
- The curriculum is "nearing its completion" and meets national aspirations, with teachers clear on content in well-developed areas.
- Staff use "flashback" starters and regular questioning to strengthen pupils’ retention of knowledge missed during the pandemic.
- A new inclusion team ensures pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) learn the same curriculum, with tasks adapted to "remove any learning barriers."
- Governors are "rigorous in challenging leaders" and have established committees to scrutinise educational details.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must set out all the knowledge pupils need to learn in some subjects, as teachers are sometimes unsure "what must be taught when and why."
- Leaders need to strengthen teachers’ expertise in implementing the planned curriculum, as some do not always expect enough from pupils or choose activities that deepen knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, creating an "exceptional culture of vigilance" where staff know to "think the unthinkable" and record-keeping is "detailed and thorough."
