23rd 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 3,930 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are in place to support pupil progress? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
What Ofsted said about Broadheath CofE Primary School
Overview
Broadheath C of E Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a community that feels like ‘a family’, where pupils feel happy, safe, and included. Leaders have made significant changes to the curriculum, supporting many pupils to achieve well and become independent learners.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from ‘kind and nurturing relationships’ and a culture where ‘pupil voice matters’.
- The curriculum is rich, with staff who ‘check pupils’ understanding well’ and identify misconceptions as they arise.
- Early readers are ‘well supported’ with books matched to their known sounds, while established readers enjoy a wide range of texts.
- Pupils are becoming ‘increasingly fluent mathematicians’, applying knowledge to solve complex problems.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are ‘well supported to access the same learning as their peers’.
Areas to improve
- Too many pupils are persistently absent, causing gaps in learning; the school should strengthen partnerships with parents to highlight the impact of absence.
- Established writers lack sufficient opportunities to apply learning independently, meaning some leave school unable to write at an age-expected standard.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
