Byfleet Primary School

About Byfleet Primary School

Byfleet Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Surrey local authority average. The school achieved a combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 64%, which is just two percentage points below the LA average of 66%. That puts it 9th out of 20 primary schools in Woking and 115th out of 298 across the whole of Surrey. While it's not among the top performers, it's also not far off the pace. The school's maths results are notably strong: 91% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and the average maths score was 107. Reading and writing were weaker by comparison, with 64% and 82% reaching the expected standard respectively. At the higher standard, 18% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2012, and its most recent ungraded inspection in June 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained.

The school's Progress 8 data isn't available, but the KS2 scores give a clear picture of where it excels and where there's room to grow. Maths is clearly a strength, with 32% of pupils reaching the higher standard compared to 41% in reading and 27% in writing. The average reading score of 105 is respectable but trails the maths average of 107. Ofsted's breakdown from the 2025 inspection rated leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Good. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, having been upgraded from Requires Improvement in 2014. Parent views are mixed: 63% would recommend the school, and 85% agree or strongly agree that their child is happy. However, only 41% agree that SEND children get the support they need, with 59% disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. Behaviour is seen positively, with 86% agreeing pupils are well-behaved.

The school is oversubscribed, with 73 applications for 22 places in 2025/26 and a ratio of 3.32 applicants per place. All 20 first-preference applicants received offers, so being local clearly matters. The school serves 194 pupils against a capacity of 210, and 13.9% are eligible for free school meals. Facilities include a Forest School, sensory room, sports hall, music rooms, and a chapel. Clubs cover coding, gardening, and chess, while sports include football, cricket, rounders, cross country, and netball. SEND provisions cover dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health, speech and language, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a solid, improving primary that suits families who value strong maths teaching and a broad range of activities, but those with SEND children may want to investigate support further. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is New Haw Community Junior School, 1.8 km away.
