181st 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 4,195 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3/10 among them, against 2.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| 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 Send CofE Primary School
Overview
Send C of E Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The report describes an inclusive environment where pupils enjoy learning, behave well, and demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness. Leaders have implemented decisive improvements to the curriculum, resulting in better pupil outcomes and a positive staff culture.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as ‘ready, respectful and safe’, with ‘warm, mutually respectful relationships’ permeating the school.
- The curriculum is now logically sequenced, with clear ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Staff effectively support pupils in developing fluency in reading, writing, and mathematics through targeted practice and extra daily support.
- Attendance has improved significantly, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those speaking English as an additional language, due to rigorous monitoring.
- Staff benefit from a strong culture of collaboration, with actions taken to support workload management and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not routinely check pupils’ understanding well enough, meaning mistakes and misconceptions are not addressed swiftly.
- The school has not yet fully established systems for checking how successfully pupils remember key knowledge in a few subjects, leading to gaps in learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
