About Ash Grange Nursery and Primary School

Ash Grange Nursery and Primary School sits well above the Surrey local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 66%. That seven-point gap places the school 51st out of 298 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top quarter nationally. The school is also ranked second out of 19 primary schools in Guildford, putting it among the strongest performers in its immediate area. This is a school that clearly delivers above-average academic results for a state primary, and it does so while serving a community where 17. 5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — a figure that suggests the intake is more diverse than some of its higher-ranked peers. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2025, found it had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection, and it now holds a Good rating overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management.
