Check the area around this school
6th of 58 primary schools in Milton Keynes we can score, 90 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 — 9.8/10 against 1,477 of them, against 9.9/10 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 | 92.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 33.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
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 Haversham Village School
Overview
Haversham Village School is described as a place where pupils are “truly happy” and feel secure, supported by dedicated staff who aim to “bring out the best in everyone.” The report highlights a “renewed vision” following significant changes, with staff, governors, and parents united in their ambition for a high-quality education. Leaders have successfully steered the school through recent challenges, creating a vibrant environment with spacious grounds and a strong ethos of kindness and empathy.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, work hard, and act as “great role models,” resulting in a calm environment where “nobody worries about bullying.”
- The curriculum has taken “great shape,” with subject leaders collaborating to select essential content, and pupils leaving as “confident, fluent readers.”
- Teachers explain new material with clarity and use checks on learning to help concepts “stick” firmly in pupils’ minds.
- Staff quickly identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and put specific support in place to enable full curriculum access.
- Governors “firmly hold leaders to account” while caring deeply about staff well-being and actively testing information from meetings.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure knowledge is “well sequenced” across all subjects from Reception to Year 6, as it is not currently coherent in some areas.
- Senior leaders need to continue professional development to enhance subject leaders’ skills in checking the quality and impact of the curriculum.
- Leaders must further develop teachers’ understanding of how to deliver the ambitious curriculum, particularly to avoid over-adapting tasks for pupils with SEND.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring every adult is appropriately trained and acting swiftly when concerns arise.
