Bringhurst Primary School
Market Harborough, LE16 8RH · Leicestershire · primary school
18th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.1/10 against 3,527 of them, against 9.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor activities, and swimming. Trips include the Shakespeare Schools Festival, The Northern Ballet, The Royal & Derngate Theatre, The Corby Cube, Lincoln Castle, Gainsborough Old Hall, The Museum of Lincolnshire Life, and Nevill Holt Farm. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 159 pupils in a capacity of 182 places, leaving 23 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late or leave early without a wraparound provision? What specific support is available for the 17.0% who do not reach the higher standard? How does the curriculum integrate the listed arts trips into daily learning?
