114th 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 4,259 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Whyteleafe Primary School
Overview
Whyteleafe Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy attending and feel safe. Leaders provide a relevant curriculum that supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well, fostering positive relationships and high standards of behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘happy and safe’, forming positive relationships and behaving well, with staff supporting emotional needs through dedicated ‘well-being areas’.
- The curriculum is ‘relevant and interesting’, including a ‘globalisation and diversifying’ approach that helps pupils understand different cultures.
- Teachers support reading development effectively, with early years children quickly learning phonics and older pupils showing a ‘love of reading’.
- Pupils achieve well in mathematics, building the knowledge needed to answer problems confidently and developing ‘mathematical fluency’.
- Staff provide helpful training and resources for SEND pupils, ensuring they ‘thrive in class’ and benefit from extra-curricular clubs.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, specifically geography and history, pupils have ‘too many gaps in their knowledge’, meaning they do not always build reliably on previous learning.
- Leaders need to ensure essential knowledge is clear and adapted so that pupils ‘know more and remember more over time’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving helpful training to identify risks and acting quickly on concerns to keep pupils safe.
