Check the area around this school
158th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.9/10 against 2,651 of them, against 3.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Paul's CofE Primary School
Overview
St Paul’s CofE Primary School is described as a safe and welcoming place where the Christian ethos and ‘FAITH’ values sit at the heart of provision. Pupils achieve well across the curriculum, showing resilience and high engagement in their learning. The report highlights that children in Reception get off to an “extremely strong start,” with early years provision rated as Outstanding.
Strengths
- Early years provision is outstanding, with a “clear and unrelenting focus on what children need to learn” and exceptionally high levels of engagement.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; staff use a phonics-based approach to help pupils become “fluent and confident readers.”
- Teachers have “strong subject knowledge” and accurately identify pupils needing additional support, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils show a “highly developed understanding of the importance of human rights” and engage in reasoned debate.
- Staff feel well supported, with consideration given to their well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- Older pupils do not routinely have access to appropriate mathematical resources, which hinders their understanding; leaders should ensure teachers support the development of efficient calculation methods.
- Low numbers of disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND attend extra-curricular clubs; leaders should identify and address barriers to participation for these groups.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a strong culture where well-trained staff know how to identify and report concerns.
