About All Saints Carshalton Church of England Primary School

All Saints Carshalton Church of England Primary School sits in a competitive local authority where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 69 per cent. The school outperforms this benchmark, with 72 per cent of its pupils hitting that combined target in the 2023/24 academic year. That places it 15th out of 33 primary schools in Sutton, putting it in the top half of the borough. Its ranking score of 72 puts it a clear step behind the top three local primaries, which all score 86 or 87, but it is comfortably ahead of the middle of the pack. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 reception places, it received 172 applications for just 48 spots, with 43 of those offers going to first-preference families. That ratio of 3.58 applications per place suggests strong local demand, and the school's Church of England character likely plays a role in its appeal.

On the finer detail of the Key Stage 2 results, the school's strengths are clear in reading and maths. 83 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, with an average scaled score of 109, and 81 per cent did so in maths, with an average score of 108. Writing is a relative weak spot: 74 per cent met the expected standard, and only 22 per cent achieved the higher standard, compared with 53 per cent in reading and 43 per cent in maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is 21 per cent. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in September 2014. The leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good in that graded inspection, and the school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections.

The school offers nursery provision for children from age three and has a capacity of 446, with 441 pupils currently on roll. Just 5.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average. Facilities include a chapel, music rooms, an ICT suite, art studios, a sensory room and a dining hall. Sports on offer include tennis, football, athletics, rounders and gymnastics, while clubs range from coding and chess to gardening, science and art. The school lists a broad range of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. Parent View responses from 141 families show 83 per cent would recommend the school, though the SEND support question drew a more mixed response: 36 per cent disagreed that the school gives SEND children the support they need, while 45 per cent agreed or strongly agreed. This is a popular, church-affiliated primary that delivers solid academic results above the local average, but families with children who have additional needs may want to probe the SEND provision further.
