Hadrian Academy
Dunstable, LU5 4SR · Central Bedfordshire · primary school
19th of 36 primary schools in Central Bedfordshire we can score, 95 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 4,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64.0%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0 out of 10 among them, against 2.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cool Kids Club and Cook Kids Club, participate in Walk the mile, Drumba, and Orienteering, and attend sporting trips to local and national professional events. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 383 pupils in a capacity of 360, meaning it is over capacity by 23. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific support is available for children in the Cool Kids Club? How does the school manage the high demand for places?
