132nd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 1,900 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 New Monument Primary Academy
Overview
New Monument Primary Academy continues to be a good school, providing a welcoming environment where pupils enjoy coming to school. The report highlights a positive culture built on shared values, with pupils displaying an "admirable attitude towards education" and strong, caring relationships with adults. Leaders maintain high ambitions for all pupils, ensuring staff feel well supported and that the curriculum is ambitious and broadly taught.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, following clear routines and showing respect, which results in "disruption-free learning" and harmonious social times.
- Reading is a high priority, with a rigorous phonics programme and inspiring resources helping pupils develop a "love for reading".
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced to build cumulatively, with teachers making appropriate adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Personal, social and health education is detailed and effective, fostering an "inclusive attitude towards differences" and opportunities for character development.
- Staff receive useful training and support from the trust, ensuring responsibilities are shared sensibly and workload is managed effectively.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in some foundation subjects is less well developed, meaning staff are less clear about what pupils have learned; the school should ensure checks on learning consistently identify gaps across the curriculum.
- In the nursery, learning activities do not always match the intended curriculum well enough; the school should ensure staff have the expertise to deliver the curriculum consistently across early years provision.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
