Waverley Abbey CofE Junior School

Farnham, GU10 2AE · Surrey · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.5/10 Broadly average

147th 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 3,583 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 4.1/10 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 58.0 · 35 40% 1.39

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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3 out of 10 among them, against 4.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Cookie Club, Genie Lab Science Club, Magic Club, Public Speaking Club, Spanish Club, Street Dance Club, and Musical Theatre. Sports include Football, Rounders, Multi Sports, Judo, Netball, and Cross Country. Arts and music options are Artbox and LAMDA. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 472 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 8 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What are the specific times for the breakfast club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving on to secondary education?
