Barnack CofE (Controlled) Primary School
Stamford, PE9 3DZ · Peterborough · primary school
4th of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 10.0/10 against 4,288 of them, against 9.9/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 95.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.50 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 95.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Half (50.0%) reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (10.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in archery, axe throwing, grass sledging, air rifle shooting, and fencing, alongside art competitions and a Year 5 residential trip.
Getting in. The school has 180 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 30 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with reading or maths? What are the specific learning objectives for the Year 5 residential trip? How does the school engage parents in their child’s progress?
