Check the area around this school
206th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 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 3,537 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.83 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Eastfield Primary School
Overview
Eastfield Primary School is described as being in a “period of transition” with recent changes to systems and procedures. While most parents appreciate these improvements, the report states that “expectations of what pupils should achieve are not fully realised.” The curriculum varies in quality, which “holds back pupils from knowing and remembering more.”
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a “wide range of extra-curricular activities,” including sports leadership and carefully considered visits that link to learning.
- Children in the early years “get off to a strong start,” developing secure relationships and independence, supported by improved outdoor learning spaces.
- Pupils “love reading,” with effective early reading programmes and a ‘reading shed’ that encourages engagement with texts.
- Personal development is praised, with pupils learning to appreciate “the values of modern society” and utilising ‘calm corners’ for reflection.
- Staff appreciate actions taken to “reduce their workload,” and attendance systems have had a “positive impact.”
Areas to improve
- The curriculum must be “coherently ordered, taught and assessed” so pupils can “know and remember more over time,” as subject knowledge and delivery currently vary.
- Pupils with SEND require a curriculum “well matched to their needs,” with precise support documents and appropriate equipment to minimise barriers to learning.
- Behaviour routines in key stage 1 are not consistently embedded, inhibiting a “calm and orderly environment,” requiring consistent implementation of expectations.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
