About St Ignatius Catholic Primary School

St Ignatius Catholic Primary School in Spelthorne holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement grade. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 awarded it Good across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed it remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 70%. That is four percentage points above the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing the school 73rd out of 298 primary schools in the county. In the Spelthorne district specifically, it ranks 6th out of 19 schools, putting it in the top third locally. The school also performs well on individual subjects: 77% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths separately, and average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at 106.
