51st 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 4,199 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.68 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.67 |
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 Hallow CofE Primary School
Overview
Hallow CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "lovely, calm and purposeful atmosphere" and strong community spirit. Pupils are proud of their school, live out the ethos of "Loving to learn, learning to love," and achieve well under high expectations from leaders.
Strengths
- Leaders have developed a "broad and ambitious curriculum" that enables all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to achieve well.
- The teaching of reading and phonics is a high priority, with most pupils becoming fluent readers by the end of Year 2 through targeted support and matched books.
- An effective mathematics curriculum helps pupils remember number facts, while subject leaders in areas like art ensure skills build progressively.
- "Warm, nurturing relationships" are evident, with pupils behaving well, showing respect, and learning without interruption.
- The wider curriculum engages pupils through performances, music, and enrichment opportunities such as residential visits.
Areas to improve
- Some subject leaders, particularly those new to their roles, do not yet have a clear understanding of the curriculum’s impact on pupils’ learning and must check this more effectively.
- Levels of absence and persistent absence remain too high for a minority of pupils, requiring leaders to develop more effective strategies to improve attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff demonstrating a detailed knowledge of local risks and acting swiftly to support families and ensure pupils feel safe.
