About Reigate Parish Church Primary School

Reigate Parish Church Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Surrey average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 66%. That 15-point gap is significant and consistent across individual subjects: 91% hit the expected standard in reading, 90% in maths, and 81% in writing. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 19% of pupils achieving that top tier across all three subjects. In the Reigate and Banstead local authority ranking, the school sits second out of 21 primary schools, placing it in the top 10% nationally. Its Ofsted rating is Outstanding, a grade it has held across both its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and an ungraded inspection in 2025, where inspectors confirmed that standards were maintained. The early years provision was also judged Outstanding in the 2019 inspection.

Academic outcomes are consistently strong across the board. The average scaled scores in reading and maths were 109 and 108 respectively, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. In terms of higher-standard attainment, 48% of pupils achieved above the expected level in reading, 45% in maths, and 31% in writing. The school’s ranking score of 81 places it in the top 25% nationally, and within the South East region it ranks 177th out of over 2,000 primary schools. The parent view data, collected from 164 responses between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 94% of parents would recommend the school. Strong majorities agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school (94%) and feels safe (93%). However, there are some areas of concern: only 67% of parents agreed that SEND children receive the support they need, and 20% disagreed, which is a notable split. Similarly, 79% felt concerns are dealt with properly, but 15% disagreed.

The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 213 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.55. Of the 84 first-preference applications, 59 received offers. The school has a Church of England religious character, and its facilities include a chapel, sensory room, gymnasium, sports hall, and ICT suite. Clubs on offer include drama, film club, book club, and art club, while sports provision covers football, dance, rounders, and cross country. The SEND register covers a range of needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health difficulties. With a low percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals at 3.1%, the school draws from a relatively affluent catchment. This is a school that suits families who prioritise strong academic outcomes and a faith-based setting, but those with children who have SEND may want to investigate the support on offer more closely before applying.
