About New Haw Community Junior School

New Haw Community Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Surrey local authority average, marking it as a strong performer in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 66%, New Haw achieves 85% — a significant gap of 19 percentage points. This places the school first out of 17 primary schools in the Runnymede borough and in the top 6% nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Outstanding, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — was judged Outstanding. With 350 pupils on roll against a capacity of 344, the school is slightly oversubscribed, which reflects its strong local reputation.

Academic outcomes at New Haw are consistently high across individual subjects. In reading, 95% of pupils met the expected standard and 36% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 108. Maths tells a similar story: 92% at expected and 35% at the higher level, also with an average score of 108. Writing is slightly lower but still strong, with 88% at expected and 16% at the higher standard. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects is 10%. The school’s Progress 8 data is not available, so it is not possible to measure how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures are well above national and local benchmarks. The school ranks 15th out of 298 primary schools in Surrey overall, and its ranking score of 85 places it among the top 10% of schools in the county.

The school offers a range of facilities including an outdoor playground, gymnasium, playing fields, dining hall and a chapel. Sports provision covers netball, athletics, swimming, dance and cricket, while extracurricular clubs include coding, book club and gardening. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. The percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is 12.6%, which is close to the national average for primary schools. New Haw is a junior school, taking pupils from age 7 to 11, and does not have a nursery or sixth form. It is a mixed, non-religious state school. For families seeking a high-attaining primary in the Runnymede area with a track record of Outstanding Ofsted grades, this school is a strong candidate.
