11th of 37 primary schools in Luton we can score, 46 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 — 8.1/10 against 2,283 of them, against 6.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
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 Cutenhoe Hill Primary School
Overview
Surrey Street Primary School is described as a welcoming institution "at the heart of its community" where pupils are "happy, safe and proud." The inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education with strong behaviour, effective safeguarding, and excellent support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and "coherently designed" in core subjects like English and mathematics, allowing many pupils to achieve well.
- Early years provision is strong, with a "well thought through and sequenced" curriculum that prepares children effectively for Year 1.
- Staff have "high expectations" for behaviour, resulting in few disruptions and strong, respectful relationships between pupils and adults.
- Reading is a high priority; staff are well trained in phonics, and books are "carefully matched" to help pupils become fluent readers.
- Pupils with SEND receive timely support and learn successfully alongside peers, with teachers "skilfully adapt[ing] learning" to meet their needs.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must refine the curriculum in a minority of foundation subjects to "precisely identify the knowledge and skills pupils should learn," ensuring teachers deliver essential content.
- The school should provide a wider range of opportunities outside lessons for pupils to develop their interests and talents, as current provisions limit aspects of personal development.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
