About Pyrford Church of England Primary School

Since its last inspection in 2013, the school has converted to a Single Academy Trust. It subsequently converted to a Multi Academy Trust in 2018. The school gained National Support School Status and was an active member of the Surrey Teaching Schools Network. The current Headteacher is a designated NLE National Leader of Education and supports schools in the locality. The school is exploring partnership working with a geographically local Multi Academy Trust, to ensure that staff have regular, quality CPD. The school is engaging in external school improvement, support and validation. The school actively works with the Maths and English Hubs based in the South East region. Leaders engage with CST as well as local academy partners.

The school established an onsite nursery in 2017, following the opening of the new school building in September 2016. The nursery is integral to the school and has a QTS lead. Both the main school and the nursery are oversubscribed.

There are currently 450 pupils in the main school (one bulge class) and 39 pupils in the nursery. The school is a diverse community, which is represented by 14 ethnic groups; and 23% of pupils have EAL. The school is in the 2nd quartile for pupils with SEND (including EHCP plans) and the 4th quartile for pupils entitled to PP.

Outcomes in the school are usually in the top 20% nationally and greater depth outcomes in maths are significantly above national outcomes year on year. The school has been addressing outcomes and progress in writing, which declined between 2017-2019. Progress in reading and writing at key stage 2 is a focus for the school, but this is still a challenge as internal data tracking shows that writing was heavily impacted during the lockdown period. An action plan has been put into place.
