56th 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 4,279 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 4.8/10 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 | 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 Burlish Park Primary School
Overview
Burlish Park Primary School is described as a place where pupils ‘enjoy coming to school and behave well’, guided by the values to ‘love, learn and live’ together. Leaders maintain an ‘unwavering ambition’ for every member of the school community to feel valued and successful, supported by high-quality staff care and an ambitious curriculum. The inspection highlights strong personal development and effective leadership, with pupils feeling ‘happy and safe’ and deeply engaged in a wide range of enrichment opportunities.
Strengths
- Personal development is rated ‘Outstanding’, with pupils demonstrating care for each other and the environment, and older pupils taking serious responsibility as play leaders and house captains.
- Leadership and management are ‘Outstanding’, with staff valuing the ‘best of both worlds’ support from the trust and school leaders, including regular ‘check-ins’ and high-quality subject support.
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious’ and carefully sequenced, bridging learning in books with environmental exploration, while ensuring all pupils learn to read well through persistent, targeted help.
- Specific attention to individual needs ensures pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are ‘successful learners’ and access extra-curricular opportunities, deeply valued by parents.
- Safeguarding ‘underpins all that leaders do’, with staff possessing deep knowledge of risks and knowing exactly ‘what to do, when and why’ if concerned about a pupil.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should continue to embed successful recall strategies and provide oracy opportunities, as pupils currently ‘do not readily retrieve their previous learning’ and cannot articulate knowledge in sufficient depth or breadth.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’, with robust checks, daily training, and comprehensive pupil education on managing risks in society.
