Cuddington Community Primary School

About Cuddington Community Primary School

Cuddington Community Primary School sits within Surrey local authority, a county with 298 primary schools, and ranks 45th among them. In the immediate Epsom and Ewell area, it places 5th out of 12 primary schools, putting it in the top tier locally. The top-performing peers in Surrey include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Cuddington’s own ranking score of 75 reflects solid performance, though it sits below those three. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character. It has a nursery provision and a capacity of 210 pupils, currently home to 199. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 16.1 per cent, slightly above the national average for primary schools, which gives a sense of the catchment it serves.

Academically, Cuddington performs well above the Surrey local authority average for Key Stage 2. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 66 per cent, but at Cuddington that figure is 75 per cent. In reading, 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and 36 per cent reached the higher standard, while in maths 93 per cent met the expected standard and 25 per cent achieved the higher score. Average scaled scores were 107 in both reading and maths. Writing saw 82 per cent at expected and 21 per cent at the higher level. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are maintained, and its previous graded inspection in 2019 rated overall effectiveness as Good. That was an improvement from the Requires Improvement rating it received in 2016, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 84 applications for 20 places, with all 20 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.2 to one. Facilities include an ICT suite, playing fields, a gymnasium, library, dining hall and chapel. Sports on offer are football, cricket, rounders and tennis, while clubs include coding, chess, choir and eco club. SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, social and emotional mental health, autistic spectrum disorder, and there is a SEN unit. Parent View responses from 43 families show 67 per cent would recommend the school, though opinions are more divided on behaviour management and SEND support. This is a school that suits families who value strong academic outcomes in a popular local primary, but it is worth noting the mixed parent feedback on pastoral consistency.
