Ofsted: Inadequate · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
0.4/10 Well below average

197th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 — 0.4/10 against 1,678 of them, against 0.6/10 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 32.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in June 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the School Council, Forest School, Skipping Squad, and play cricket. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 345 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 135 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the Inadequate Ofsted rating from 2022? What specific steps are being taken to improve attainment in reading, writing, and maths? How do you support pupils who need care before or after the school day, given the lack of wraparound clubs?
