Ongar Place Primary School
About Ongar Place Primary School
Ongar Place Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest ungraded visit in January 2025 confirming that standards are being sustained. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 70 per cent. That figure sits above the Surrey local authority average of 66 per cent, placing the school 5th out of 17 primary schools in the Runnymede borough and in the top 50 per cent nationally. In reading, 90 per cent of pupils met the expected standard and the average score was 107, while in writing 80 per cent hit the mark and in maths 73 per cent did so. A smaller group, 7 per cent, reached the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s overall ranking score of 70 reflects solid, if not exceptional, performance.
