Check the area around this school
115th of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 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 3,905 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.6/10 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 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Bridgetown Primary School
Overview
Bridgetown Primary School is described as a "happy, inclusive school with high expectations for its pupils" that sits at the heart of its community. The report states that the overall effectiveness of the school is Good, with pupils feeling safe, valued, and well-behaved. Leaders have established a strong culture where staff are supported and governors actively challenge and support school improvement.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy and feel safe," understanding school values and knowing that staff "teach us how to be kind."
- Children in the early years settle quickly into a "calm, well-resourced environment" and present as "confident, curious and happy."
- Leaders "quickly identify the specific needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)," ensuring they are "fully included and achieve well."
- The governing body is "ambitious for the school," challenging leaders and strengthening support, particularly around the curriculum.
- Staff feel valued, noting that leaders are "considerate of their workload" and "always willing to listen."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should provide further training to ensure all staff become experts in delivering the reading curriculum, as some currently lack the skills to teach phonics effectively.
- Leaders should ensure teachers use assessments precisely to check what pupils know and remember, as this is not currently consistent across all staff.
- Leaders should ensure staff in the early years engage consistently well with children to help make the most of learning opportunities, as some do not spot where learning could be further developed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust procedures for reporting concerns and swift responses to ensure pupils at risk receive necessary support.
