Check the area around this school
47th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 3,495 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School
Overview
Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School continues to be a good school, described as an "inviting and happy place to be" with a "purposeful buzz of learning." The report highlights that pupils behave impeccably, feel safe, and are supported by staff who form caring relationships and provide exciting educational experiences.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and "broad," with "consistently strong" phonics teaching and a well-designed mathematics curriculum that helps pupils develop secure skills.
- Staff are praised for their high aspirations, subject knowledge, and the "caring relationships" they build, ensuring pupils feel safe and bullying is rare.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive "valuable extra pastoral and teaching support" and make good progress while learning the same curriculum as others.
- Pastoral support is strong, with leaders effectively supporting pupils’ mental health and helping them manage emotions, resulting in rare low-level disruption.
- Pupils are "wonderful ambassadors" who enjoy a wide range of opportunities, including forest school, clubs, and cultural experiences, fostering positive attitudes towards learning.
Areas to improve
- In subjects where the curriculum has been redesigned, such as history, assessment is still being refined and does not yet precisely identify whether pupils securely develop the intended knowledge, skills, and vocabulary.
- Leaders must sharpen assessment in these areas to swiftly identify gaps in learning and adapt the curriculum accordingly.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders carrying out necessary checks, providing up-to-date staff training, and making timely referrals to specialist agencies when pupils are at risk.
