Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.7/10 Broadly average

98th 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 2,886 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 6.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Nutfield Church CofE Primary School

Inspection report dated 9 May 2025

Overview

Nutfield Church CofE Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a "wonderfully warm and welcoming" environment where pupils "thrive and flourish" and feel "happy and safe." Leaders are characterised as "reflective, strategic and ambitious," fostering a community where staff, parents, and pupils are proud.

Strengths

  • Pupils achieve very well in national assessments, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who benefit from effective support.
  • Reading is a high priority; staff demonstrate "strong subject knowledge" and teach phonics well, helping younger pupils quickly learn to "segment, sound out and blend."
  • The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," carefully selecting essential knowledge and vocabulary, such as Year 1 pupils sounding out words like ‘reflection’ and ‘resilience’.
  • Behaviour is excellent, with "positive learning environments" and high attendance, supported by clear routines and an anti-bullying team.
  • Pupils take on many roles of responsibility, such as "library leaders" and "equity ambassadors," promoting active citizenship and well-being.

Areas to improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, teaching does not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to practise and secure important knowledge, limiting deeper understanding.
  • The school should ensure staff use strategies to embed key knowledge in pupils’ long-term memory so they "know and remember more across all subjects."

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
