Linden Primary School
Gloucester, GL1 5HU · Gloucestershire · primary school
177th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 1.5/10 against 2,795 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including gardening, street art, street dance, arts and crafts, STEM, newspaper reporting, samba-drumming, and DJ club. Sports cover football, gymnastics, karate, multi-skills, yoga, cross country, and swimming. KS1 and KS2 choirs perform, and trips include visits to Cotswold Farm Park, Westonbirt, and the Cheltenham Literature Festival. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 420 pupils in a school with 420 places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who arrive late due to the lack of a breakfast club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions when capacity is fully met?
