About Frimley CofE School

Frimley CofE School sits in Surrey Heath, part of the Surrey local authority, and is the top-ranked primary in its immediate borough out of 13 schools. Across the wider Surrey primary landscape, it places 12th among 298 schools, a strong showing that puts it in the company of the county’s highest-performing peers. The top three in Surrey are South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score above Frimley on the same ranking metric. Frimley is a Church of England state primary for mixed genders, taking pupils from age 7 to 11, with headteacher Clare Wright. It is not a boarding school, has no sixth form, and does not offer nursery provision. The school is oversubscribed, with 355 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, and 11 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals.

Academically, Frimley CofE School performs well above the local average. In its most recent KS2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, 87 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, compared with a Surrey LA average of 66 per cent. The school’s ranking score of 87 on this metric places it in the top 5 per cent nationally. In reading, 97 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and 50 per cent reached the higher standard; in maths, 94 per cent met the expected standard and 41 per cent achieved the higher standard. Average scaled scores were 110 in reading and 108 in maths. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2015 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. An ungraded inspection in March 2024 confirmed the school remains Good, and the previous inspection in 2013 had rated it Requires Improvement.

The school offers a range of facilities including playing fields, an ICT suite, a gymnasium, an outdoor playground, and a chapel. Sports provision covers football, cricket, dance, and tennis, while clubs include chess, gardening, film club, coding, art club, and book club. SEND support is broad, covering specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, visual impairment, physical disability, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties. This combination of strong academic outcomes, a wide club offer, and comprehensive SEND provision makes Frimley CofE School a solid choice for families in Surrey Heath who want a well-performing, inclusive primary with a Church of England character and a clear track record of improvement since its Requires Improvement rating over a decade ago.
