Callowell Primary School
Stroud, GL5 4DG · Gloucestershire · primary school
205th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 2.1/10 against 2,795 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 0 | 35% | 0.01 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% 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 October 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 (2.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 137 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 73 spare places. 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 rating from the 2022 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to improve attainment in reading, writing, and maths? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils’ daily routine and learning?
