44th of 71 primary schools in Leicester we can score, 82 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.4/10 against 1,531 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Inglehurst Junior School
Overview
Inglehurst Junior School is described as a place with a "strong sense of community" where staff "really care" about pupils. The report highlights that the school is "ambitious for all to succeed academically" and that pupils achieve well, supported by high expectations for behaviour and a nurturing environment.
Strengths
- The school has a "well-developed reading curriculum" where teachers use "quality texts" and strong questioning to help pupils think deeply.
- The curriculum is "ambitious" with "pathways" that build knowledge over time, linking learning to future careers to raise aspirations.
- It is a "highly inclusive school" where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well, supported by a "calm and nurturing" Learning Zone.
- Pupils demonstrate "strong" behaviour, showing "resilience, empathy, aspiration, curiosity, honesty" and learning to regulate themselves.
- Leaders have a "clear and united vision," ensuring pupils’ well-being is considered through initiatives like morning "meet and greet" sessions.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, there is "not enough coherence to plans," and essential knowledge is not made clear enough, meaning some pupils are not remembering all they have been taught.
- There are "missed opportunities for the most able pupils to deepen their thinking and learning" due to unclear curriculum documentation in certain areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
