Check the area around this school
148th of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 — 3.5/10 against 2,559 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Cashes Green Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, 9.0% achieved it against a national median of 7%. 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 (3.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023.

What Ofsted said about Cashes Green Primary School
Overview
Cashes Green Primary School continues to be a good school, described as an ‘ambitious’ and ‘inclusive’ environment where ‘pupils thrive’. Leaders maintain a strong vision that ‘care and support helps everyone succeed’, fostering a culture where children feel safe, valued, and eager to learn.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from ‘warm relationships with staff’ and a ‘welcoming, inclusive’ atmosphere that supports their emotional well-being and resilience.
- The curriculum in subjects such as mathematics is ‘broad and ambitious’, with teachers using ‘strong subject knowledge’ to deepen understanding.
- Reading instruction is ‘well established and effective’, with staff accurately identifying pupils at risk of falling behind and providing targeted support.
- The school has a ‘robust system’ for identifying the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they enjoy the same learning opportunities as their peers.
- Staff feel ‘valued, empowered and proud’ due to high-quality training, ongoing coaching, and leaders who are ‘considerate of their workload and well-being’.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not ‘precisely selected the knowledge’ they want pupils to know, meaning teachers do not always know the most important things to teach. Leaders should refine the curriculum so that content and sequencing are ‘clear and coherent in all subjects’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a ‘strong safeguarding culture’ where staff are well trained and know pupils and their families extremely well to identify risks.
