1st of 76 primary schools in Dudley we can score, 78 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 — 9.6/10 against 1,668 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 41% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 34% | 3.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.97 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
