Godalming, GU8 5PB · Surrey · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.3/10 Broadly average

118th of 203 primary schools in Surrey we can score, 298 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 4,231 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 63.0 · 46 40% 1.86

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

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Activities include coding, chess, knitting, cooking, Lego, Artbox, and The Outdoors Project. Sports cover football, gymnastics, judo, athletics, dodgeball, and hockey. Arts and music options include musical theatre, the school choir, and ukelele lessons.

Getting in. The school has 304 pupils in a capacity of 360 places, leaving 56 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific support is available for the 10.0% who aim for the higher standard? How are the 56 spare places managed to ensure class sizes remain small?
