Check the area around this school
164th 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,311 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Ongar Place Primary School
Overview
Ongar Place Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as proud of their vibrant school, where they feel safe, valued, and cared for within a community defined by strong and respectful relationships. The school fosters high expectations, ensuring pupils are well prepared for future education stages through secure knowledge and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious, broad, and balanced, with precise knowledge outcomes in most subjects allowing pupils, including those with SEND, to achieve well.
- Pupils achieve well in English and mathematics, supported by staff expertise in phonics and well-matched reading books that build confidence and fluency.
- Personal development is very well considered, offering cultural activities, clubs, and forest school sessions that pique curiosity and prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.
- Behaviour is generally excellent, with clear policies and high expectations; pupils are polite, attentive, and keen learners who help run the school smoothly.
- Staff feel respected and well supported, while governors effectively assist leaders in maintaining high-quality education.
Areas to improve
- In a couple of foundation subjects, the school must identify precisely what knowledge pupils should learn to prevent confusion and ensure logical progression.
- The mathematics curriculum is not taught as fully as intended in some areas; staff must ensure all pupils have sufficient opportunities to problem-solve and explain their reasoning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
