About Lightwater Village Junior School

Lightwater Village Junior School’s headline KS2 results sit noticeably below the Surrey local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 66%, Lightwater’s figure is 48%. That 18-point gap places the school 176th out of 298 similar schools in the county, and 11th out of 13 in the Surrey Heath district. The school’s ranking score of 48 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are the strongest: 69% of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 104. Maths sits at 61% expected, with an average score of 100. Writing is close behind at 63%. The real pinch point is the combined measure, which suggests that while many children do well in one or two subjects, fewer manage all three at the expected level simultaneously.
