Check the area around this school
92nd of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 — 5.2/10 against 3,905 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Mickleton Primary School
Overview
Mickleton Primary School continues to be a good school, described as an “inclusive and happy” environment where pupils are proud to belong. Leaders ensure the school’s values are central to operations, fostering a nurturing atmosphere where children develop confidence, self-esteem, and a strong sense of community.
Strengths
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported” and participate fully in all aspects of school life.
- Expectations of behaviour are high, with staff dealing effectively with any bullying and helping pupils regulate their emotions.
- The early years provision is “purposeful and inviting,” allowing children to thrive and learn important skills such as curiosity and resilience exceptionally well.
- Partnerships with parents are strong, built on “highly effective communication,” with parents overwhelmingly positive about the care their children receive.
- Staff are supported professionally, with leaders mindful of workload and providing training to maintain well-being and expertise.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all staff have the expertise to deliver the phonics programme effectively, as some pupils who struggle to read do not catch up as quickly as they should.
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not fully considered how teaching supports the intended curriculum, meaning some pupils do not learn as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a “strong culture of safeguarding” where staff are alert to signs of harm and report concerns promptly.
