Check the area around this school
83rd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.9/10 against 1,515 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Weyfield Primary Academy
Overview
Weyfield Academy is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, marking a significant improvement from its previous ‘Requires improvement’ rating. The report describes a school where pupils are ‘keen and excited to learn’ and benefit from a ‘broad and interesting curriculum’. Leaders have established high aspirations, resulting in a positive culture where staff and pupils enjoy ‘warm and respectful relationships’.
Strengths
- Pupils ‘learn to read exceptionally well’, supported by highly effective phonics teaching and extra help for those who find reading difficult.
- Behaviour is ‘good’, with pupils understanding they should ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe’, and bullying is ‘infrequent’.
- The curriculum is delivered in a ‘well-ordered fashion’, allowing pupils to build understanding progressively from Reception to Year 6.
- Teachers ‘modify lessons particularly well’ to provide tailored support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils are ‘well prepared to make a positive contribution to society’, engaging actively in their local community and taking on leadership roles.
Areas to improve
- In a ‘small number of subjects’, teachers’ subject knowledge is not yet secure enough to deliver the curriculum effectively, limiting pupil achievement.
- Procedures to check pupils’ learning are not ‘consistently precise’ across the full curriculum, meaning teachers sometimes fail to identify and address knowledge gaps.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with a ‘strong safeguarding culture’ where staff are well trained and promptly report concerns.
