Check the area around this school
5th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.5/10 against 2,153 of them, against 9.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 89.0 · 97 | 40% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.22 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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 Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School
Overview
The inspection describes a school where pupils are part of a "loving and inclusive community" and feel "very safe." Leaders have established a "highly inclusive culture" that removes barriers to learning, resulting in pupils who are "enthusiastic learners" and well prepared for their next steps in education.
Strengths
- Pupils make "clear and secure progress" across the curriculum, with "consistently high standards" in national tests for reading, writing, and mathematics.
- Attendance is "excellent" and sustained, with vulnerable groups often attending above the school average due to "rigorous tracking systems" and early intervention.
- The curriculum is "aspirational and engaging," with staff using "purposeful, relevant tasks" and frequent revisits to prior learning to reduce cognitive load.
- Early years provision is "extremely well organised, nurturing and ambitious," ensuring children enter school "calmly and confidently."
- Staff and leaders work closely with families and external professionals, creating a "collaborative approach" that parents value highly.
Areas to improve
- Leaders and governors should "maintain their highly effective work" and "further pursue their ambitious aims" to ensure pupils experience "transformational educational provision."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
