About West Byfleet Junior School

West Byfleet Junior School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Surrey, with 64% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That is just two percentage points below the local authority average of 66% for primary schools, so the school is broadly in line with its peers rather than a standout performer. Where it does nudge ahead is in reading: 87% of pupils hit the expected standard and 42% reached the higher standard, both comfortably above what you might expect from a school ranked 10th out of 20 in Woking. The average reading score of 108 is notably strong, while maths sits at 105. The school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded visit in January 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. That is a solid improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2013, suggesting a stable trajectory under headteacher Ben Wasserberg.
