Check the area around this school
44th of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 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 — 5.3/10 against 1,164 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| 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 Leamore Primary School
Overview
Leamore Primary School is described as a place where pupils feel “happy, safe and where they enjoy learning.” The report highlights a “caring, inclusive culture” driven by leaders with a “moral purpose” to support disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs. While most aspects of the school meet the expected standard, the early years provision is rated at a strong standard.
Strengths
- Early years staff create a “calm, nurturing environment” where children are “very well prepared for key stage 1” through rich experiences and vocabulary development.
- Leaders demonstrate a “palpable” commitment to inclusion, ensuring disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND access targeted support and achieve well.
- A “calm, respectful culture” ensures bullying is “rare,” with staff addressing behaviour consistently and pupils showing “resilience” in learning.
- Strong partnerships with parents and external agencies help tackle attendance barriers, resulting in improved attendance figures close to national averages.
Areas to improve
- In “a few wider curriculum subjects,” key concepts have not been clearly identified, preventing pupils from building knowledge securely.
- Leaders should identify the specific knowledge and skills pupils need to remember in these subjects to ensure a high-quality curriculum across all areas.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an “open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility” and concerns actively managed.
