21st of 45 primary schools in Solihull we can score, 59 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.5/10 against 3,405 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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 Cheswick Green Primary School
Overview
Cheswick Green Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a "welcoming and caring atmosphere" where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders maintain high expectations for all learners, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, resulting in generally strong achievement and positive attitudes towards learning.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy "warm, respectful relationships" with staff and peers, contributing to a calm environment where they "listen respectfully" and behave well.
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and carefully sequenced, allowing pupils to build knowledge securely and retain previous learning effectively.
- Leaders provide effective support for pupils with SEND, ensuring they work towards the same learning goals as their peers.
- Personal development is promoted successfully, with pupils discussing values such as "respect and tolerance" and engaging in initiatives that boost confidence.
- Staff feel well supported, and governors effectively hold leaders to account for school performance.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must improve communication with parents, as some do not feel well informed about recent changes or the reasoning behind decisions.
- Subject leaders need more opportunity to monitor curriculum delivery to ensure staffing resources are used effectively and to address pupil misconceptions.
- In some phonics groups, teachers do not always spot and address pupils’ mistakes, and leaders have not consistently ensured adults provide precise support.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring robust training, swift referrals, and a curriculum that teaches pupils how to keep safe.
