Check the area around this school
74th 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 2,793 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Eastington Primary School
Overview
This inspection found a school where pupils behave very well and respect one another, creating a "happy and harmonious" environment. Leaders have established a "well-sequenced curriculum" that supports strong reading outcomes and effective safeguarding arrangements. However, the report notes that expectations for pupil achievement are not sufficiently high in some subjects, limiting the development of subject knowledge.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "highly positive" behaviour, actively supporting the well-being of others and showing a mature understanding of equality and diversity.
- Reading is a success, with staff effectively delivering phonics training so pupils can "spell words accurately" and become confident readers.
- The curriculum is adapted to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they "learn as well as their peers."
- Governors "support and challenge school leaders competently," while assessment practices are effective without being burdensome for staff.
- Pupils show "motivation and persistence in the face of difficulties," contributing to a productive team atmosphere.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, expectations of what pupils are capable of are "not high enough," meaning pupils are not challenged sufficiently to develop their subject knowledge.
- Leaders should ensure that the curriculum, in all subjects, is "suitably ambitious" to raise these expectations.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with secure recruitment checks and staff trained on the latest statutory guidance to keep children safe.
