About Connaught Junior School

Connaught Junior School sits in an unusual position for a Surrey primary. Its headline KS2 metric — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 57%, which is nine percentage points below the local authority average of 66%. That places the school 153rd out of 298 primary schools in Surrey, and in the bottom half nationally. Yet this is a school rated Outstanding by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2023, having improved from a Good rating in 2012. The disconnect between the inspection grade and the raw attainment figures is striking. The school serves a community where 14% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average for primary schools, and its intake may partly explain why headline results lag the county norm. But Ofsted’s judgement suggests inspectors saw something the league tables don’t capture.
