Salesian School, Chertsey
Chertsey, KT16 9LU · Surrey · secondary school
1st of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 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 340 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1/10 among them, against 9.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 82.6 · 95 | 46% | 4.38 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.96 · 97 | 38% | 3.73 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 64.9 · 95 | 15% | 1.46 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 82.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 64.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.96 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1 out of 10 among them, against 9.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Sailing Club, participate in Sports Day, watch productions of *The Government Inspector* and *Beauty and the Beast*, and work towards the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
Getting in. The school has 1849 pupils in a capacity of 1410, meaning it is over capacity by 439. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 439-pupil overage? What support is available for pupils who fall behind in the first term? How does the sailing club operate during term time?
