Check the area around this school
43rd of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 7.5/10 against 3,839 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing

Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Hauxton Primary School
Overview
Hauxton Primary School is described as a place where pupils are “happy, polite and welcoming” and feel “cared for” within an “inclusive and supportive community.” The report highlights that leaders have designed an “ambitious” curriculum with “precisely defined” knowledge, resulting in pupils who are “avid and passionate readers” and produce “high-quality work.”
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “exemplary” behaviour, with bullying being “extremely rare” and social spaces described as “well-ordered.”
- Teachers use “probing questions” and “precise explanations” to ensure pupils understand concepts and engage enthusiastically in tasks.
- The early years curriculum effectively balances “formal learning and play,” with high-quality phonics training helping many pupils become “fluent readers.”
- Staff and governors value the focus on well-being, and pupils learn key values such as “tolerance, liberty and respect.”
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders lack the capacity to monitor curriculum delivery effectively, leading to “inconsistencies in pupils’ learning experiences” in some areas.
- The early years curriculum is not sufficiently developed in all subjects to ensure children know the specific knowledge needed to access the Key Stage 1 curriculum smoothly.
Safeguarding
The report states that “arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” with staff using detailed knowledge of pupils to “rapidly identify and report indicators” of need.
