Check the area around this school
4th of 17 primary schools in Rutland we can score. 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,238 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.94 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.24 |
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 Exton and Greetham CofE Primary School
Overview
Exton and Greetham CofE Primary School is described as a “warm and friendly school” where pupils feel safe and enjoy attending. Leaders maintain an “ambitious” curriculum that supports all learners, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), fostering a culture where pupils are “highly respectful” and value their roles in school life.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a “broad range of subjects” and extra-curricular activities, with staff providing “supportive and encouraging” teaching.
- Reading is a clear priority; a “consistent approach” to phonics ensures pupils become “capable readers who love books.”
- The curriculum effectively promotes personal development, teaching pupils about “diversity, healthy relationships and staying safe online.”
- Staff are “well supported by school and trust leaders,” and parents report that staff “go above and beyond” for their children.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, staff do not always check for understanding before moving on, leading to “gaps in their knowledge” that prevent pupils from achieving as highly as they could.
- Not every child on the SEND register has “clearly identified, measurable targets,” meaning some pupils do not receive the specific support they need.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with a “strong culture” where staff are well trained to recognise concerns and liaise appropriately with external agencies.
