Check the area around this school
140th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,750 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 3.8/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Coopers Edge School
Overview
Coopers Edge School is described as a "happy and welcoming" environment where pupils "flourish in this nurturing environment." The inspection found that staff are "aspirational for pupils" and promote a culture of mutual support, resulting in high attendance and positive relationships. The school maintains a "positive and respectful culture" with strong leadership oversight.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious and inclusive," with pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) being "well supported to progress."
- Staff possess "strong" subject knowledge and use effective strategies to identify and rectify misunderstandings in new learning.
- The school promotes a "love of reading" through a "well-planned phonics curriculum" and guided reading programmes.
- Leaders have "strong oversight of pupils’ attendance," ensuring it "remains high."
- Pupils develop their character through activities such as residentials, charity work, and the pupil parliament.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not used effectively to check long-term retention, meaning teaching does not always "remedy gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding."
- The school lacks "clear oversight of patterns of behaviour across the school," preventing the identification of emerging trends for future planning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
