Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
5.0/10 Broadly average

134th 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 3,942 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Holy Family Catholic Primary School overview

How it's doing

In 2024/25, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 6.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. An inspection in January 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 6.1 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom

Pupils attend Lego sessions, Bikeability, and swimming lessons, with trips to Chertsey Museum and the Surrey Wildlife Project. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in

The published school roll is 218 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. 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.

Worth asking on a visit

Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific support is provided for pupils who need extra help in maths? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
