Primrose Hill Church of England Primary Academy
Lydney, GL15 5TA · Gloucestershire · primary school
4th 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 — 9.7/10 against 3,548 of them, against 9.4/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Gloucestershire School Games and attend the Beauty and The Beast pantomime. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 210 pupils in a school with 210 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With no spare places, how does the school manage admissions for new starters? How does the breakfast club support pupils before the school day begins? What specific support is available for the 17.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard?
