Ravenscote Junior School
About Ravenscote Junior School
Ravenscote Junior School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. While the overall effectiveness was not judged on that occasion, inspectors awarded the highest possible mark of Outstanding in three separate categories: personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The quality of education was rated Good. This represents a change from the school's previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding across the board. On the most informative exam metric available, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just one percentage point above the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing Ravenscote 5th out of 13 primary schools in the Surrey Heath district. Nationally, the school ranks in the 38th percentile among all state primaries.
