Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
3.9/10 Broadly average

169th 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 3,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 5.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Tatsfield Primary School overview

How it's doing

In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 4.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. An April 2026 Ofsted inspection used the new framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom

Pupils participate in the School Council and a Year 6 residential visit to PGL Marchants Hill. Breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in

The published school roll is 205 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

Worth asking on a visit

How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Year 6 residential trip? How are places allocated if demand exceeds the 5 spare spots?

What Ofsted said about Tatsfield Primary School

Inspection report dated 14 April 2026

Overview

Tatsfield Primary School is described as a "kind and welcoming" community where pupils have a "clear sense of belonging." The school delivers a "thoughtfully well planned" personal development programme that is "highly effective," while most other aspects of provision meet the expected standard.

Strengths

  • Personal development and wellbeing are rated at a "strong standard," with a "rich and purposeful programme" that builds pupil confidence and relationships.
  • Pupils demonstrate "high levels of kindness, empathy and social responsibility" through meaningful leadership roles and charity initiatives.
  • Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
  • Inclusion is effective, with "high-quality staff training" and "time-bound interventions" that promptly address barriers to learning.
  • Attendance is generally high, with leaders taking "timely action" tailored to individual needs when absence begins to decline.

Areas to improve

  • Leaders should ensure staff "explain new learning precisely" to embed agreed teaching principles, as explanations sometimes lack sufficient precision.
  • Staff must "consistently provide an appropriate level of challenge" across the curriculum to help more pupils, including the most able, achieve highly.

Safeguarding

The report confirms that safeguarding standards are met, noting that leaders have established an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and that pupils are "made safer and feel safe."
