23rd of 37 primary schools in Luton we can score, 46 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 — 5.1/10 against 2,405 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 41% | 1.20 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.67 |
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 Ramridge Primary School
Overview
Ramridge Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a curriculum focused on helping all pupils achieve their best. The inspection highlights a stimulating, well-ordered environment where pupils feel safe, valued, and encouraged to express their own ideas. Leaders have established high expectations and a clear vision, fostering a community characterised by respect, kindness, and strong behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "stimulating and well ordered" environment that allows them to "focus on their learning and thrive."
- Staff are "reading experts" who use an embedded phonics scheme to build a "strong foundation of reading knowledge" for all pupils.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported" through tailored plans, enabling them to access the "same ambitious curriculum as others."
- The school fosters high standards of behaviour, with pupils showing "respect and kindness to all" and bullying being "rare."
- Governors receive "detailed and accurate information" from leaders, helping them to effectively support school improvement priorities.
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the links between learning in the early years and Year 1 are "not as clear as they need to be" to ensure pupils make the best use of prior knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring safeguarding has a "high profile" and staff receiving effective training to keep pupils safe.
