Check the area around this school
152nd 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 4,248 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School
Overview
Lyne and Longcross C of E Aided Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming environment with a distinct ‘village feel’. Pupils are described as friendly and confident, benefiting from high expectations for achievement and a broad, ambitious curriculum that is currently undergoing refinement.
Strengths
- The school is inclusive, ensuring all families feel welcome, with staff helping children build confidence from Nursery through a supportive ‘buddy’ system.
- Teachers explain learning clearly in most subjects, supported by an ongoing programme of professional development that enhances subject expertise.
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s values of courage, faith and respect, with behaviour described as ‘safe and calm’ in classrooms and during breaks.
- The school provides enriching experiences, including residential trips that increase in independence as pupils progress through the school.
- Governors have a ‘very clear vision’ and work closely with leaders to ensure education has a positive impact on pupils.
Areas to improve
- A small number of pupils, including some with SEND, require ‘sharper catch-up support’ and more opportunities to practise reading decodable books to plug gaps in their knowledge.
- The curriculum in some subjects lacks clarity in sequencing; the school needs to refine this to ensure pupils have sufficient opportunities to revisit and secure core knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
