Ravensthorpe Primary Academy
Peterborough, PE3 7NB · Peterborough · primary school
52nd of 55 primary schools in Peterborough we can score, 60 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 — 4.0/10 against 1,758 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 4.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in July 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join football and girls' football tournaments. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 341 pupils enrolled in a school with 420 places, there are 79 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 raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs support pupils' daily routine?
