94th 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 3,597 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Clifton upon Teme Primary School
Overview
Clifton upon Teme Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, respectful, and well-prepared for their next educational steps. Leaders have designed a balanced curriculum with high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), fostering strong personal development and a love for reading.
Strengths
- Pupils behave very well, model the school’s ‘Clifton Way’ values, and feel safe, knowing staff would help with any worries.
- Reading is central to the curriculum; children make strong progress from Reception, with staff using excellent subject knowledge to support phonics and catch up any gaps quickly.
- Mathematics is taught with a well-sequenced curriculum, enabling pupils to confidently use mathematical vocabulary to explain problem-solving.
- Staff identify the needs of pupils with SEND quickly and accurately, adapting lessons so they achieve well alongside peers.
- Governors provide effective support and challenge, while leaders are mindful of staff workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, pupils lack opportunities to revisit prior learning, meaning some do not remember what they have learned well enough to build upon it.
- Some subject leaders are new to their roles and are not yet confident in evaluating curriculum implementation or leading improvements in the quality of education.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training, spotting signs of risk quickly, and reporting concerns promptly.
