Hamsey Green Primary

About Hamsey Green Primary

Hamsey Green Primary sits within Surrey local authority, a county with 33 primary schools rated Outstanding out of 298 total. In the Tandridge district, the school ranks 14th out of 17 primaries, placing it in the bottom half locally. The top-performing peers in the area include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Hamsey Green’s own ranking score of 59 places it well behind these leaders. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Warlingham Village Primary School, just 1.4 kilometres away. Despite this local competition, Hamsey Green is significantly oversubscribed: for 60 places in 2025/26, it received 129 applications, with 53 first-preference offers made. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.15, suggesting strong demand from local families. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2025, rated it Good across all categories — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016.

Academically, Hamsey Green’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 59%, which is below the Surrey local authority average of 66%. In reading, 69% reached the expected standard, while in writing it was 66% and in maths 59%. At the higher standard, just 7% achieved the combined measure, with 24% reaching higher in reading and writing, and 10% in maths. Average scores were 104 in reading and 102 in maths. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 50% of primaries, sitting at the 60th percentile. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The Ofsted inspection noted that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management are all Good, with early years provision also rated Good.

The school offers a broad range of facilities including a Forest School, art studios, sports hall, gymnasium, sensory room, and playing fields. Clubs include chess, coding, gardening, film club and choir, while sports on offer are gymnastics, rounders, football, dance and cricket. For children with additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions covering Specific Learning Difficulty (Dyslexia), Moderate and Severe Learning Difficulty, Social Emotional and Mental Health needs, Speech Language and Communication needs, and Autistic Spectrum Disorder. However, the Parent View responses show some division: while 66% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that SEND children get the support they need, 34% disagreed or strongly disagreed — a notable split. Overall, 92% of parents would recommend the school. With nursery provision from age 2 and a capacity of 420 (currently 411 pupils), Hamsey Green suits families who value a Good-rated local primary with strong community demand, despite academic results that sit below the county average.
