Check the area around this school
48th of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 — 6.8/10 against 4,152 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 62% | 4.19 |
| 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 Leonard Stanley Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a "welcoming and inclusive" school where pupils are "excited to come to school" and demonstrate "genuine care for others." While leadership has driven rapid curriculum improvements, the quality of education is judged as "Requires improvement" because the full impact of these changes is "yet to be realised across the curriculum for all pupils."
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "Good" behaviour and attitudes, playing in "harmony across year groups" with "warm relationships with adults."
- Reading provision is strong, with initiatives like "Roald Dahl days" ensuring pupils are "excited to ‘get lost in a book’" and learn to read quickly.
- Personal development is "Good," with a programme that helps pupils "keep safe and well" and prepares them for "life in modern Britain."
- Leadership is described as "intelligent and strategic," providing "stability and direction" with an "accurate understanding" of the school’s needs.
- Early years provision is "Good," with a focus on early number knowledge and secure letter formation.
Areas to improve
- Support plans for some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "lack specificity," meaning they do not always receive the support needed to learn successfully.
- In some subjects, pupils "find it hard to remember learning over time" due to previous curriculum deficiencies, leaving gaps in knowledge.
- Teachers do not always provide sufficient opportunity for pupils to "apply their mathematical knowledge to problem solving and reasoning activities."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
