7th 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 2,757 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.1/10 among them, against 8.1/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 62% | 4.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 38% | 3.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
