Check the area around this school
174th 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 3,510 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 2.9/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Riverbridge Primary School
Overview
Riverbridge Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as ‘secure and happy’, working hard to meet high expectations for behaviour and learning while embracing values such as ‘ambition, compassion and inclusion’. The school fosters a positive community where staff build strong relationships with pupils, and attendance is improving.
Strengths
- The ‘ambitious curriculum’ ensures all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well with appropriate support.
- Early years provision is strong, with skilled teachers delivering phonics ‘consistently well’ and ensuring pupils become ‘fluent and confident readers’.
- Staff have ‘strong subject knowledge’ and routinely check understanding, taking swift action to address misconceptions.
- ‘Family learning sessions’ are highly effective, providing parents with opportunities to support their children’s education.
- Pupils demonstrate a ‘well-developed understanding of how to stay healthy and stay safe’, including online safety, and take pride in roles such as sports leaders.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects within the wider curriculum, essential knowledge and skills have not been specifically identified, leading to gaps in pupil knowledge. The school should clearly define the precise knowledge, skills, and teaching order to ensure pupils retain important subject content.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
