Check the area around this school
9th 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 — 7.9/10 against 4,238 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 90 | 35% | 3.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Jeavons Wood Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 13.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. 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 (7.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools). An inspection took place in February 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join the KS2 Eco Council, Choir, Y6 book club, KS2 Running Club, Football club, Netball, and Recorder Lessons. An after-school club is also available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 419 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Jeavons Wood Primary School
Overview
Jeavons Wood Primary School delivers a high-quality education where pupils are "proud of themselves" and achieve results "significantly above national averages" in core subjects. The inspection highlights a "well-constructed and ambitious curriculum" supported by staff with strong subject knowledge, creating an environment where pupils feel safe, valued, and well-prepared for secondary school.
Strengths
- Attendance is "consistently above the national averages" due to a "rigour and a whole school approach" that intervenes early in absences.
- Behaviour is "highly positive" with "warm and respectful" relationships; pupils trust staff to resolve concerns "fairly and swiftly".
- Inclusion is "highly effective," with "precise adaptations" ensuring pupils with special educational needs succeed alongside peers.
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," with leaders continually evaluating impact to refine teaching and secure essential knowledge.
- Personal development is valued highly, with a "coherent approach" to health and relationships that helps pupils "articulate their feelings".
Areas to improve
- Leaders should "continue to improve communication with parents" to build confidence and support.
- Leaders should use achievement data in "some foundation subjects to address gaps more swiftly," as teachers do not always address misconceptions quickly enough.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" ensuring pupils are "made safer and feel safe."
