About Barnsbury Primary School and Nursery

Barnsbury Primary School and Nursery sits within Surrey local authority, where it ranks 168th out of 298 primary schools of the same type. In Woking specifically, the school places 16th out of 20 primaries, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. For context, the top-performing peers in Surrey include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score considerably higher on the same ranking metric. Barnsbury’s ranking score of 52, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, puts it well behind those leaders. The school is also some distance from the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, St Dunstan's Catholic Primary School in Woking, which is 2. 3 km away. Despite this, Barnsbury holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good.
