Check the area around this school
115th of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 4,203 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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) 2023/24 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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.

What Ofsted said about Redbrook Church of England Primary School
Overview
Redbrook Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a school where pupils are “happy, settled and safe,” benefiting from an “extended family” ethos and warm relationships with staff. The curriculum is ambitious and well-monitored, helping pupils develop independence and resilience while meeting national expectations.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “secure subject knowledge, particularly in English and mathematics,” with staff skilfully supporting reading and writing.
- The school has achieved a “significant improvement in most pupils’ attendance” through strong partnerships with parents and swift, bespoke support for families.
- Behaviour is positive, with pupils playing well together and receiving effective support to manage emotions and friendship issues.
- Staff workload is managed successfully through shared subject leadership and frequent curriculum reviews with federation colleagues.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive “appropriate individualised support” developed in partnership with parents and external professionals.
Areas to improve
- The school must refine assessment practices to “close gaps in knowledge across the wider curriculum,” as current methods do not always help pupils build securely on prior learning in all subjects.
- The school should ensure pupils are “well prepared for life in modern Britain,” as their current knowledge of cultures and communities is “superficial” and limits their understanding of differences.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
