Mount Wise Community Primary School
Plymouth, PL1 4LA · Plymouth · primary school
57th of 66 primary schools in Plymouth we can score, 69 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 — 2.7/10 against 1,199 of them, against 2.2/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.70 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.74 |
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, 49.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in KS1 and KS2 gymnastics and football for Years 3/4 and 5/6. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 258 pupils in a school with 246 places, meaning it is over capacity by 12. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 12-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support learning?
