Check the area around this school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.0/10 against 3,775 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 62% | 5.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 38% | 3.21 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
