Check the area around this school
25th 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 2,075 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 7.3/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.04 |
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 Hagley Primary School
Overview
Hagley Primary School is described as a place where pupils are proud, happy, and feel safe, supported by "exceptional pastoral care" and an inclusive culture. The inspection highlights "outstanding" leadership and behaviour, with staff maintaining high expectations that pupils consistently meet. While the curriculum is ambitious and well-sequenced in many areas, the report notes specific inconsistencies in implementation for a minority of subjects and pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "excellent" behaviour, working with "focus, enthusiasm and perseverance" and showing great respect for adults and peers.
- Reading is a high priority, with daily phonics practice and interventions helping the "vast majority of pupils to develop the skills they need to read confidently and fluently."
- The mathematics curriculum is carefully sequenced, allowing staff to use assessments to "identify the gaps in pupils’ knowledge and target these gaps."
- Personal development is exemplary, with pupils taking on leadership roles such as "peer mediators" and "Thrive ambassadors" to support others.
- Leaders use funding wisely to support disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs, particularly regarding social and emotional needs.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure that a minority of pupils with special educational needs receive sufficient support to improve their reading and writing, which has not been the main priority for them.
- Leaders should ensure that the intended curriculum is fully implemented in a minority of subjects so that pupils "know and remember what they have been taught."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust systems in place to keep pupils safe, including regular staff training and clear processes for reporting concerns.
