80th 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 3,869 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 St Anne's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, confident, and polite. The report highlights that the school maintains high expectations for learning and behaviour, with the vast majority of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieving well.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate core values of ‘self-belief, teamwork, aiming high and respect’ across the school.
- The curriculum is ambitious, with core knowledge carefully identified and gaps in learning addressed quickly in most subjects.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is ‘highly effective’, with staff making careful adaptations.
- Pupils’ mathematical knowledge is ‘very secure’, and they use mathematical vocabulary adeptly.
- Staff benefit from a ‘strong culture of collaboration’ and flexible support to manage their workload.
Areas to improve
- The teaching of phonics is ‘not as precise as it could be’, meaning a small number of pupils are not learning to read as quickly as they could.
- The school needs to ensure all staff understand how to teach reading effectively and that catch-up support is ‘consistently well targeted and prioritised’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
