3rd of 55 primary schools in Bury we can score, 64 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 3,899 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 7.8/10 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 | 97.0 · 100 | 62% | 6.12 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
