Check the area around this school
48th of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 the 3,211 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Lyde Green Primary School
Overview
Lyde Green Primary School is judged as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. The report highlights a clear vision for pupil achievement, underpinned by the ‘Lyde Green pledge’, which fosters tolerance and confidence. Pupils feel safe, enjoy positive relationships with staff, and benefit from an ambitious and inclusive curriculum, particularly in mathematics and early years phonics.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘designed well’, with clear content and vocabulary in subjects like mathematics, supporting pupils to ‘build their mathematical understanding’.
- Robust monitoring has improved phonics outcomes; children ‘learn and remember new sounds well’ and receive timely support if they fall behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) ‘overcome any barriers to learning and progress well’, supported by close collaboration with external agencies.
- Personal development is promoted effectively, with pupils demonstrating maturity in discussing ‘fundamental British values’ and taking pride in leadership roles.
- Safeguarding arrangements are ‘effective’, creating an open culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
Areas to improve
- Some teachers lack necessary ‘subject and pedagogical knowledge’, and assessment is not used consistently to check learning, leading to gaps in pupils’ knowledge in certain subjects.
- Systems to monitor pupil absence are ‘not yet used well enough’, preventing the school from fully understanding the effectiveness of strategies to improve attendance for some groups.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
