111st 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 3,535 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 The Royal Kent CofE Primary School
Overview
The Royal Kent CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, providing an aspirational environment where pupils are "confident and independent." Leaders have designed a clear curriculum sequence that allows pupils’ understanding to become "increasingly sophisticated," supported by staff who are "very positive" and well-supported.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, are "thoughtful and considerate," and take personal responsibility for their actions, including creating class rules.
- Teachers explain learning clearly, check understanding systematically, and address misconceptions quickly to support all pupils, including those with SEND.
- The school prioritises reading, with skilled teachers delivering a "well-considered phonics scheme" effectively, resulting in pupils becoming "confident and fluent readers."
- Attendance has improved significantly, with "very effective systems" supporting the small number of persistently absent pupils.
- Personal development is a priority, with pupils learning about concepts such as "democracy and diversity" and taking on leadership roles.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not plan activities that support pupils in learning key information and vocabulary carefully enough, meaning pupils "do not retain this important knowledge." Leaders should ensure they support teachers to plan activities that match the ambitions of the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
