Check the area around this school
3rd of 17 primary schools in Rutland we can score. 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 — 8.8/10 against 4,190 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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 Brooke Hill Academy
Overview
Brooke Hill Academy continues to be a good school, offering an ambitious curriculum that supports all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The inspection found that pupils are happy, safe, and well-mannered, with high attendance and positive relationships between staff and students.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well sequenced and ambitious," helping pupils build knowledge in small steps, with teachers closely checking learning to tailor support.
- Reading is a priority, with a "well-planned and established reading programme" where staff provide immediate support for those struggling with phonics.
- Mathematics teaching is effective, with knowledgeable teachers helping pupils remember previous learning, leading to mature discussions about their progress.
- Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities and leadership roles, such as "eco councillors" and "art ambassadors," contributing positively to school life.
- Staff morale is high, with leaders considering workload and well-being, while governors and trustees share a "clear vision for the future."
Areas to improve
- The school should continue to implement and refine the amended curriculum so pupils can "deepen their knowledge securely and consistently over time," particularly in subjects where changes are recent.
- Plans for teaching British values are not fully developed; the school must ensure all pupils have an "age-appropriate understanding of the key values that are important in Britain today."
- Communication systems need improvement so that all parents feel "fully involved and informed," addressing concerns that the school does not always respond to issues in a timely manner.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
