Check the area around this school
19th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.5/10 against 3,537 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Lickhill Primary School
Overview
Lickhill Primary School is described as a place where staff and pupils are “justifiably proud,” with the development of each pupil at the heart of the curriculum. The report highlights that pupils meet high expectations by behaving well and working hard, resulting in “good progress from pre-school upwards.” Leaders have worked hard to improve the curriculum, which is now “well sequenced and ambitious for all pupils.”
Strengths
- Behaviour and attitudes are praised as “calm and respectful,” with pupils using a colour-coded system to manage their feelings and emotions.
- There is a strong focus on reading, with effective support helping pupils who find it difficult to “catch up quickly.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “identified quickly and supported effectively,” allowing them to learn the same curriculum as their peers.
- The personal development of pupils is robust, with time planned to “debate social and moral issues” and understand fundamental British values.
- Staff receive “high-quality training” and feel supported by leaders who “listen to them.”
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the most important information pupils should know is “not clearly enough identified,” preventing accurate assessment of achievement over time.
- The outdoor area in the early years is “not as well planned” as the indoor classrooms.
- The school is in the “early stages of analysing whole-school attendance” to identify wider trends and improve further.
Safeguarding
