9th of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 61 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 — 6.7/10 against 4,250 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 62% | 4.51 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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 Heritage Park Primary School
Overview
Heritage Park Primary School is described as a "welcoming and happy school" where pupils feel safe and are well cared for. The inspection found that pupils achieve well, behave positively, and are suitably prepared for their next stage of education. The report notes that while the curriculum is ambitious and broad, some areas require refinement to ensure consistent learning outcomes.
Strengths
- Pupils have "positive relationships with each other and adults" and attend well.
- Children make an "excellent start in early years," developing strong communication and number skills.
- Reading is a "high priority," with trained staff delivering an effective early reading curriculum that fosters a love of books.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "effective," with many accessing the same curriculum as their peers.
- Governors are now "more effective," monitoring regularly and holding leaders to account.
Areas to improve
- Teachers should be supported to present intended knowledge "confidently and effectively across all areas of the curriculum," as new knowledge is not always introduced clearly.
- The school needs to fully embed and develop its communication systems so that all parents feel "fully informed."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
