Stamford Green Primary School and Nursery

About Stamford Green Primary School and Nursery

Stamford Green Primary School and Nursery sits in a curious position when you compare its headline metrics against the Surrey local authority average. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 66 per cent, but Stamford Green’s figure is 58 per cent, putting it below the county norm. That said, the school is heavily oversubscribed — 240 applications for 89 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 102 first-preference applications — which suggests local families are drawn to something beyond the raw headline. Its Ofsted rating is Outstanding across every category in its January 2025 inspection, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2015, so this isn’t a flash in the pan. It ranks 145th out of 298 primary schools in Surrey, placing it in the bottom half of the LA, but within Epsom and Ewell it sits 10th out of 12.

A closer look at the Key Stage 2 results reveals a more nuanced picture. While the combined expected standard figure is below the LA average, the school’s average scaled scores are solid: 105 in reading and 104 in maths. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 16 per cent, and individual subject higher-standard percentages are 33 per cent in reading, 28 per cent in maths, and 21 per cent in writing. The school’s ranking score of 58 places it in the bottom 50 per cent nationally, but within the South East it sits at the 62nd percentile. Parent feedback is overwhelmingly positive — 93 per cent of the 218 respondents would recommend the school, and 95 per cent agree or strongly agree that their child is happy here. Strong majorities also agree that the school has high expectations (87 per cent) and that their child does well (93 per cent). The SEND support question is more mixed, with 68 per cent agreeing or strongly agreeing, but 30 per cent disagreeing or strongly disagreeing.

Stamford Green is a large primary with a nursery, catering for children from age 2 to 11, and it is full to capacity at 695 pupils. The school offers a broad range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, sensory room, music rooms, forest school, art studios, and even a chapel. Sports include netball, dance, athletics, rounders, gymnastics, and cricket, while clubs cover book club, chess, gardening, and art club. The SEND provisions are wide-ranging, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, and physical disability. The school is oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.7 applicants per place, and 85 of the 89 places went to first-preference applicants. This is a school that clearly commands strong local loyalty despite its middling KS2 outcomes, and it will suit families who prioritise the broader experience and Ofsted rating over raw test scores. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative is St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, 0.8 km away.
