Check the area around this school
14th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.2/10 against 3,004 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Elizabeth Woodville Primary School
Overview
Elizabeth Woodville Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong sense of togetherness and an ambitious vision for pupil achievement. Leaders, staff, and governors work collaboratively to create a caring environment where pupils feel happy, secure, and valued. The inspection confirms that the school maintains high standards in most areas, with particular praise for its supportive community and effective leadership.
Strengths
- Pupils display "exemplary" behaviour, are "enthusiastic about learning," and treat each other with "respect and kindness."
- Reading is "at the heart of the school," with phonics taught effectively using a consistent approach that ensures pupils can comprehend challenging texts by the end of key stage 2.
- Leaders are "very ambitious for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities," providing precisely matched support so they learn the full curriculum.
- Personal development is "very strong," with pupils appreciating diversity and knowing how to keep themselves safe.
- Staff enjoy working at the school, benefiting from clear direction and support that helps them "develop their expertise and manage their workload."
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the sequence of learning lacks clarity, meaning pupils do not gain a "deep understanding" of key themes; leaders must refine curriculum planning to build knowledge systematically over time.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff knowledgeable about signs of need, reporting issues promptly, and ensuring detailed records are kept to support families.
