19th of 71 primary schools in Leicester we can score, 82 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.9/10 against 2,338 of them, against 5.7/10 nationally. 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Beaumont Lodge Primary School
Overview
Beaumont Lodge Primary School is described as a place where pupils are happy, feel safe, and start the day ready to learn. The report highlights a "warm and welcoming atmosphere" with "very positive" relationships between pupils and adults, noting that bullying is not tolerated. Leaders maintain high expectations, and the school has worked hard to improve the curriculum, particularly in reading and for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils are polite, respectful, and behave well, knowing that staff "quickly sort out any problems."
- Reading is a school-wide priority with effective daily phonics sessions; teachers ensure books match the letters and sounds pupils know.
- Pupils with SEND access the full curriculum, with staff delivering "carefully planned support" and adapting teaching to meet their needs.
- Children in early years learn a "well-sequenced curriculum" and are ready for their next phase of learning in Year 1.
- The school works closely with families to promote attendance, resulting in many children attending school more regularly.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified key knowledge or the order in which it should be learned, meaning pupils do not consistently build knowledge in every subject.
- Pupils do not have a secure understanding of British values, such as tolerance and democracy, and are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
