Check the area around this school
37th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 the 3,809 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.5/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Belbroughton CofE Primary School
Overview
Belbroughton CofE Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school fosters a nurturing environment where pupils ‘learn, inspire and flourish together’, displaying exemplary attitudes towards their learning. Leaders have created a broad and ambitious curriculum that supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils ‘love learning’ and attend well, leaving the school ‘well equipped for the challenges of secondary education’.
- The school provides a ‘very nurturing environment’ where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported very well and learn the same curriculum as their peers.
- The reading curriculum is ‘well organised’, with an effective approach to phonics that helps children become ‘confident, fluent readers’.
- Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities, such as influencing playground improvements, and feel their ‘voice is heard’.
- Staff feel well supported as part of ‘Team Belbroughton’, and governors provide appropriate support and challenge.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, staff do not help pupils effectively to make connections between their current and previous learning, meaning pupils ‘do not build their knowledge of the curriculum as well as they could’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
