St John's Primary School
About St John's Primary School
St John's Primary School sits in a competitive Surrey primary landscape, but its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a mixed story. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 48%, which is 18 percentage points below the local authority average of 66%. That places St John's 177th out of 298 primary schools in Surrey, and 20th out of 21 schools in the Reigate and Banstead district — putting it in the bottom tier locally. On the other hand, individual subject scores are more encouraging. The average reading score is 106, and the average maths score is 104, both above the national benchmark of 100. And while only 7% of pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects, 21% achieved higher in maths, and 17% did so in reading and writing respectively. So the school is pulling in solid individual subject results, but the combined measure suggests a gap in consistency across the board.
