Check the area around this school
42nd of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 3,004 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Feckenham CofE Primary School
Overview
Feckenham C of E Primary School is described as a welcoming community-focused institution where staff know pupils well and prioritise their well-being. The report highlights that pupils behave well, enjoy school, and make strong progress in a carefully planned curriculum that builds on prior knowledge.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe and valued, with staff fostering strong relationships and high expectations for behaviour and work.
- The curriculum is carefully planned, helping pupils build new knowledge on what they already know, including effective support for mixed-aged classes.
- Reading is a high priority; a structured phonics programme ensures pupils become "fluent and willing readers" with effective support for those at risk of falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified effectively and make "strong progress through the full curriculum."
- Teachers use the school’s Victorian building and immediate surroundings as resources, particularly in art and history, to deepen learning.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure the curriculum is implemented consistently, as some activities do not support pupils in reaching intended learning outcomes as quickly as they should.
- New longer-term assessment arrangements need to be fully embedded to provide teachers with a clear understanding of which concepts pupils find difficult.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
