34th 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 3,009 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.2/10 among them, against 8.8/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Augustine's Catholic Primary School
Overview
Pupils feel “truly cared for” in this “highly inclusive” school, where a “strong sense of community” supports high expectations and good achievement. The curriculum is described as “broad and ambitious,” with a strong focus on vocabulary development and reading that helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to “know and remember more over time.”
Strengths
- “Exceptional relationships” between staff and pupils create an environment where children feel “very safe” and are encouraged to share concerns.
- Pupils benefit from “exceptional opportunities” for wider development, including leadership roles, charity work, and a wide range of clubs.
- “Informed and efficient teaching” in the early years and key stage 1 ensures most pupils read well for their age by key stage 2.
- Staff are “kind to pupils,” fostering positive behaviour and a culture where pupils “help each other to live the school motto.”
- Leaders provide “effective support” for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, who consequently “achieve well.”
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of subjects,” assessment is not used effectively to identify and close gaps in pupils’ learning, meaning some do not retain knowledge as well as they could.
- The school must ensure teachers in all subjects use information about what pupils remember over time to “adapt future teaching.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
