115th 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 3,697 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School is described as a “warm and welcoming” institution where pupils are “kind and considerate” and bullying is rare. The report highlights a “coherent and well-sequenced curriculum” in core subjects, with staff demonstrating high expectations and strong subject knowledge in areas such as reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils thrive in a “safe and nurturing environment” where the school’s values are “woven through daily life” and lived out by the whole community.
- In reading and mathematics, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, children “achieve well” due to skilful teaching and systematic phonics instruction.
- Leaders provide “strong support” and have successfully managed recent changes, fostering a culture where staff feel it is a “great place to work” and there is “strong mutual respect.”
- Personal development is robust, with pupils learning about healthy lifestyles, other faiths, and diversity, while attendance continues to improve post-pandemic.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum plans are new and teachers’ subject knowledge is “less strong,” meaning some pupils “do not learn as well as they could.”
- Leaders must ensure professional development is effective so teachers can “teach every subject equally well,” addressing gaps where key concepts have not been taught explicitly enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a “strong culture of safeguarding keeping pupils safe,” robust checks for new staff, and vigilant reporting systems.
