Lytchett Matravers Primary School
Poole, BH16 6DY · Dorset · primary school
11th of 79 primary schools in Dorset we can score, 119 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 3,689 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among them, against 6.4/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0 out of 10 among them, against 6.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 500 pupils in a building with 436 places, meaning it is over capacity by 64. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 64 more pupils than its official capacity allows? What specific support is available for the 11.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the breakfast club operate during the morning drop-off given the high number of students?
