Check the area around this school
24th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 7.5/10 against 4,299 of them, against 7.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Coppice Primary School
Overview
Coppice Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming and inclusive environment with a strong family atmosphere. Pupils are happy, feel safe, and demonstrate enthusiasm for learning, supported by staff who maintain high expectations and positive relationships.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious and well-sequenced, ensuring pupils successfully build knowledge over time and achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff effectively support pupils in building sound knowledge and fluency, with gaps quickly identified and addressed.
- Early years provision is strong, with well-resourced classrooms and carefully planned activities that build learning progressively from Nursery through to Year 1.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of wider experiences, including residential visits, arts centres, and after-school clubs, which promote resilience and confidence.
- Staff workload is considered, and staff well-being is promoted, contributing to a proud and supportive workforce.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not consistently provide learning activities that help pupils remember key knowledge for future learning; leaders should ensure work fully supports long-term retention.
- Pupils’ knowledge of fundamental British values is variable; leaders should ensure understanding is purposefully planned and delivered throughout the curriculum to prepare pupils for modern life.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders keeping pupils’ well-being and safety at the forefront, ensuring thorough staff checks, frequent training, and close collaboration with external agencies.
