St Dunstan's Cheam CofE Primary School
About St Dunstan's Cheam CofE Primary School
St Dunstan's Cheam CofE Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That's a solid, stable rating, but the academic story is more nuanced. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That's a touch below the Sutton local authority average of 69%, placing the school 22nd out of 33 primary schools in the borough. However, the school's average scaled scores tell a slightly different story: pupils scored 105 in maths and 106 in reading, both above the national benchmark of 100. So while the proportion hitting the expected combined threshold is middling for Sutton, the depth of learning for those who do reach it appears solid.
