About Busbridge CofE Aided Junior School

Busbridge CofE Aided Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Surrey local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 66%, Busbridge achieves 86% — a full 20 percentage points higher. That places the school second out of 22 primaries in the borough of Waverley, and within the top 5% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed, with 242 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, which suggests strong local demand. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2024, confirmed that the school continues to be Good — a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013. For families comparing options in Surrey, these metrics make Busbridge a standout performer relative to its immediate peers.
