About Godstone Primary and Nursery School

Godstone Primary and Nursery School sits in the middle of the pack for Surrey primary schools, but its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a slightly more complicated story than that ranking suggests. The school ranks 129th out of 298 primary schools in the local authority, which places it in the bottom half of Surrey schools. However, 61% of its pupils achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year — that is below the Surrey LA average of 66%. So while the school is not an outlier, it is clearly trailing the county norm on this key measure. The gap is modest but consistent, and it is worth noting that the school serves a cohort where 26. 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and may partly explain the divergence from the LA benchmark.
