Outwoods Primary School
Burton-on-Trent, DE13 0AS · Staffordshire · primary school
205th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 309 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 — 2.8/10 against 2,695 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% 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 (2.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a Forest School club and visit Laches Wood, Derby Museum, Sudbury Hall, and the National Space Centre. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 436 pupils in a building with 419 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with 17 extra pupils? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 57.0% expected standard and the 64% national median? How does the Forest School club integrate with the curriculum?
