South Farnham School named best performing school in England

South Farnham Educational Trust is delighted to announce that South Farnham School has been named as the best performing primary school in England in The School Guide Primary School League Table. The Raleigh, another of the Trust’s schools, was also listed in ninth place.

It is incredible to have not one, but two schools named in the top ten, and as the Trust continues to grow, it remains dedicated to providing a happy and nurturing environment for all children who benefit from a very rich and diverse curriculum with participation and success in music, drama, sports, and the arts. The Trust is extremely proud to be leading the primary school league table, which reflects the dedication and hard work of pupils and staff to achieve outstanding results.

Esther Whitbourn, the proud Headteacher at South Farnham School, said “We are absolutely delighted to be ranked 1st in The School Guide Primary School League Table. This is a brilliant achievement considering there are 16,784 primary schools in the country! This is not the first time South Farnham School has achieved this position and it is testament to the ongoing hard work and excellence of our pupils and staff. Not only are the children achieving well academically, they also benefit from an extraordinarily rich curriculum and leave our school as well-rounded pupils.”

The rankings were put together by The School Guide, which uses the latest exam data, Ofsted reports and parent reviews to rank the schools. More information is available on The Schools Guide website. 

South Farnham Educational Trust is a collective cross phase group of seven schools that share a commitment to ensuring the highest possible outcomes for all their children, creating an inclusive environment where all pupils can thrive.  It is also home to SFET Teaching School Hub, Appropriate Body and South Farnham SCITT, providing teacher training and development for over 300 schools.
