141st of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 3,267 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.8/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Brampton Village Primary School
Overview
Brampton Village Primary School continues to be a good school, maintaining a “close-knit feeling” despite recent growth. Pupils are described as “happy and safe,” with positive relationships and high expectations for behaviour. Leaders have successfully maintained a focus on improving the quality of education, ensuring pupils “learn and achieve well.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is designed so that knowledge and skills are “built on and revisited over time,” helping pupils become confident.
- Reading is a high priority; the phonics programme is “well structured,” and books match the sounds children learn to support fluency.
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), adapting lessons so that “all children learn well.”
- Pupils have a strong voice in school life, with opportunities to take on responsibilities and influence decision-making through the school council.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff trained to spot risks and leaders acting on concerns “promptly.”
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check precisely on what pupils have learned, meaning gaps and misconceptions are not always identified or addressed.
- Leaders are not always clear about how learning in the early years prepares children for Key Stage 1 and beyond in certain subjects.
- There are fewer activities available for pupils to follow and develop interests outside of sports clubs and competitions.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” noting that leaders act promptly on concerns and work effectively with other agencies to keep pupils safe.
