Check the area around this school
11th 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 — 8.5/10 against 3,999 of them, against 8.7/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 30.0 · 98 | 25% | 2.45 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Wallace Fields Junior School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 30.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.7 out of 10 against all schools). The most recent inspection took place in May 2026 under the new report-card framework.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils participate in yoga classes, orienteering, art therapy sessions, mindfulness workshops, meditation sessions, and Celebrate Speaking. They also take part in a France Trip and nature walks.
Getting in
The published school roll is 273 pupils against a stated capacity of 272. 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 manage class sizes when the roll exceeds the published capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How are the mindfulness and art therapy sessions integrated into the daily timetable?
