Accepted Answer

Of the 7 primary schools in Horley with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Trinity Oaks Church of England Primary School (90% in reading, 87% in maths); Manorfield Primary and Nursery School (86% in reading, 90% in maths); and Langshott Primary School (84% in reading, 86% in maths). Small schools can swing a long way from one year to the next, because each pupil is a large share of the result.
