Check the area around this school
129th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 5.4/10 against 1,294 of them, against 4.1/10 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) 2023/24 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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 Oakhill Primary School
Overview
Oakhill Primary School continues to be a good school, fostering an environment where staff and pupils are ‘growing and succeeding together’. Leaders have established an ambitious ethos underpinned by strong relationships, high behavioural expectations, and a well-structured curriculum that ensures pupils achieve well.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘well-structured’, with knowledge broken into ‘logical steps’ so teachers are clear on content and sequencing.
- Teachers possess ‘strong subject knowledge’ and use assessment strategies skilfully to address misconceptions and support learning.
- Reading is central to the curriculum, with staff ensuring books are ‘closely matched to the sounds’ pupils know to support early literacy.
- Staff provide appropriate support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to follow the ‘same ambitious curriculum’ as their peers.
- Pupils behave well, showing kindness and understanding the school’s ‘SMART’ rules, while anti-bullying ambassadors help address issues promptly.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all staff receive training and support to make sure pupils use phonics accurately to read words, as inconsistent application currently slows some pupils’ fluency.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust systems, regular staff training, and timely support provided for pupils in partnership with external agencies.
