St Martin's CofE Primary School

School overview

St Martin's CofE Primary School is a primary school serving Dorking, Surrey, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. It has 354 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 76% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 18.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 17% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 14% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Martin's CofE Primary School is oversubscribed: about 10 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 46 first choices for 45 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 3.76 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. There are about 24.6 pupils per teacher. St Martin's CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
