Check the area around this school
99th 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,242 of them, against 8.0/10 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 | 14 | 35% | 0.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Wray Common Primary 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 14.0% 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 (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools). The most recent inspection took place in February 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
The school offers a breakfast club and an after-school club. Year 5 pupils attend a residential trip to Aylmerton, while Year 6 pupils go to High Ashurst.
Getting in
The published school roll is 406 pupils against a stated capacity of 480. 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 new report-card framework affect day-to-day teaching priorities? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How are the residential trips structured to ensure all pupils participate fully?
What Ofsted said about Wray Common Primary School
Overview
Wray Common Primary School is described as a place where pupils feel safe, happy, and part of the community, with "excellent behaviour" and a strong sense of belonging. The school delivers a "coherent and ambitious curriculum" that supports high attendance and strong reading outcomes, though inconsistencies in teaching quality and gaps in specific knowledge areas require further attention.
Strengths
- Attendance is a "strong standard," with leaders actively championing high attendance and reducing persistent absence through rigorous tracking and support.
- Behaviour is "excellent," underpinned by clear routines and the school’s values, creating a "calm and purposeful environment" where bullying is rare.
- The early years provision is a "strong standard," with children settling quickly and developing an "early love of reading" through consistent, high-quality interactions.
- Personal development is a "strong standard," with a "well designed" PSHE programme that helps pupils become "confident, respectful and kind individuals."
- Staff morale is high, supported by a "collaborative and supportive culture" where leaders prioritise professional learning and workload management.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum is taught "consistently well" and that teachers check prior knowledge to address misconceptions promptly.
- Pupils need further support to secure fluency and accuracy in writing, particularly regarding spelling and sentence construction.
- Leaders should strengthen work to ensure pupils master multiplication facts, as performance in this area has been significantly below the national average.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
