38th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 3,708 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.99 |
| Ofsted | 14 | 35% | 0.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Clent Parochial Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 100.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 6.0%, against a national median of 7%. An Ofsted inspection in January 2026 used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils join Choir, Dance, Times Table, SATs, and Knitting Clubs, alongside Midland Futsal Football, Netball, and Cricket. Breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 109 pupils against a stated capacity of 105. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Clent Parochial Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils experience a "warm, nurturing and inclusive environment" with a "strong sense of belonging." Leaders have established high standards in attendance, behaviour, and early years provision, ensuring pupils feel safe and are well prepared for the next stage of their education. While most pupils make secure progress, the report notes that some curriculum improvements are still at an "early stage" and require further development to deepen conceptual understanding.
Strengths
- Attendance is "strong for all groups," supported by "skilful and well-considered adaptations" that help pupils settle and build confidence.
- Behaviour is "consistently positive," with bullying being "extremely rare" due to staff applying expectations with "confidence and consistency."
- The early years curriculum is "thoughtfully constructed," with staff skilfully extending children's language and teaching phonics "with fidelity."
- Personal development is a "notable strength," offering a "rich, coherent" programme that broadens pupils' experiences through enrichment activities and community involvement.
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should strengthen the "consistency of adaptive practice" for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities across all subjects.
- Leaders should refine the design of wider curriculum subjects to ensure pupils develop "subject-specific disciplinary knowledge" and can make connections across units.
- Leaders should increase systematic opportunities to deepen pupils' knowledge, particularly in mathematics and writing, to support higher attaining pupils.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, meaning leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
