Buckland Primary School
About Buckland Primary School
Buckland Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained across both its recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 57% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing the school 151st out of 298 primary schools in the county. In the more local Spelthorne ranking, Buckland comes 14th out of 19 schools. While the combined expected score is the headline figure, individual subject results tell a more mixed story: 83% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 82% in reading, but writing dropped to 62%. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s ranking places it in the bottom 50 nationally for this combined metric.
