Oakwood Primary School
Cheltenham, GL52 5HD · Gloucestershire · primary school
219th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 0.1/10 against 1,678 of them, against 0.4/10 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 | 14.0 · 0 | 40% | 0.02 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 14.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art & Crafts, Lego Club, SATs Club, and Puzzle Club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 342 pupils enrolled in a school with 420 places, there are 78 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve attainment from the current 14.0% baseline? What specific actions are being taken following the 2024 "Requires improvement" inspection? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils' daily routine?
