181st of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 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 the 3,670 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 3.7/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Ravenhurst Primary School
Overview
Ravenhurst Primary School is described as having a "warm, friendly and highly inclusive ethos" where pupils are "safe and happy." The report highlights a "highly inclusive ethos" and strong pastoral support, noting that staff know pupils "exceptionally well" and that bullying is rare. While most pupils achieve well in core subjects, the report identifies specific areas for improvement regarding attendance for disadvantaged pupils and raising ambitions for high achievement.
Strengths
- The school demonstrates a "highly inclusive ethos" with effective specialist provision, such as "The Den" and "The Nest," ensuring pupils with additional needs make "rapid progress."
- Pupils exhibit "positive attitudes to learning" in a "safe and calm environment," with staff managing behaviour "consistently well" and nurturing emotional regulation.
- Leaders maintain rigorous oversight of an "ambitious, well-organised curriculum," ensuring knowledge builds securely and staff deliver content with skill.
- Strong partnerships with parents, external agencies, and the local authority support tailored interventions and "trauma-informed practice."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should "further strengthen their work to improve attendance," particularly for disadvantaged pupils, to ensure all attend as often as possible.
- The school should "continue to raise its ambitions" so that an increased proportion of pupils achieve at the higher standard of national curriculum expectations.
- In the early years, leaders should ensure the learning environment and interactions better promote children's use of language and communication.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
