Deerhurst and Apperley Church of England Primary School
Gloucester, GL19 4DQ · Gloucestershire · primary school
2nd of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 9.3/10 against 3,967 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 27.0 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 27.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in September 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.3 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Camp Kindness, Drama & Performance Club, football, multisports, scooting, and table tennis. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 87 pupils in a capacity of 84 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early morning care? How does the school support pupils in reaching the higher standard, given that 27.0% currently achieve this?
