Sandfield Primary School
About Sandfield Primary School
Sandfield Primary School in Guildford holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a status it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and which was reaffirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. That 2022 visit found the school remains Good, with both leadership and management and early years provision also rated Good. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing Sandfield 6th out of 19 primary schools in the Guildford area. Nationally, it ranks in the top 35% of all primary schools, a solid showing for a relatively small state school with 211 pupils on roll.
