About Hythe Primary School

Hythe Primary School in Runnymede was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with inspectors singling out personal development as Outstanding. That’s a strong signal for a school where 27. 2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — and where the school is already operating above its official capacity of 420, with 445 pupils on roll. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 40 per cent. That’s significantly below the Surrey local authority average of 66 per cent, and it places Hythe 16th out of 17 primary schools in Runnymede, putting it in the bottom 50 per cent nationally. The school’s ranking score of 40 reflects this, though it’s worth noting that the data comes from the 2023/24 academic year and the school’s individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story.
