28th of 72 primary schools in Herefordshire, County of 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 the 4,279 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8/10 among them, against 6.4/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Brockhampton Primary School
Overview
Brockhampton Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a place where pupils enjoy learning and feel safe. Leaders have constructed a broad and effective curriculum with strong emphasis on English, mathematics, and personal development. While staff morale is high and pupils are well-supported, there are specific areas regarding curriculum planning and assessment that require refinement.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as "mature, sensible and caring," with incidents of bullying being rare due to successful pupil-led initiatives.
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," particularly in mathematics and early reading, where most pupils reach expected standards by the end of Year 1.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are quickly identified and achieve well, with leaders ensuring parents are fully involved in decision-making.
- Outdoor education is a "strong feature," aiding physical and mental health development through regular activities like forest school.
- Staff morale is high, with leaders providing supportive approaches to well-being and work-life balance.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all curriculum subjects set out explicit knowledge, skills, and vocabulary to prevent gaps in pupils’ learning.
- Assessment systems in some foundation subjects, such as music, are at an "early stage of development" and need strengthening to identify support needs.
- Home reading books for early years and Key Stage 1 must be better matched to phonics taught in class to consolidate early reading skills.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring staff are fully trained to spot changes in behaviour and acting swiftly to provide support.
