Check the area around this school
88th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.9/10 against 2,106 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Leverington Primary Academy
Overview
Leverington Primary Academy continues to be a good school, offering a "happy, nurturing and welcoming environment" where pupils succeed. The report highlights a calm and harmonious community where children are resilient, polite, and proud of their work, supported by staff who share a drive to achieve the best for all pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils thrive in an inclusive setting where they "forge trusting relationships with staff" and value their friendships.
- The curriculum is carefully considered, with teachers providing "clear, structured examples" that help all pupils, including those with SEND, produce high-quality work.
- Reading is successfully woven throughout the curriculum; children learn to read quickly from Reception, becoming "confident and fluent readers" through precise phonics instruction.
- Behaviour is positive, with older pupils actively supporting younger ones and staff consistently modelling high expectations.
- The personal, social and health education programme helps pupils develop into "respectful and tolerant members of an inclusive school community."
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure all teachers are trained to check precisely that pupils have a detailed understanding before moving on to new learning, as current approaches in some subjects "lack precision."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
