Check the area around this school
193rd of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 1.1/10 against 2,363 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing

What Ofsted said about Redbrook Hayes Community Primary School
Overview
Redbrook Hayes Community Primary School continues to be a good school, where children are "eager to come to school because they enjoy learning." The inspection highlights a "warm and enabling" environment with high expectations, resulting in "secure academic achievements" and a "calm atmosphere in lessons."
Strengths
- Pupils feel "safe and happy," with "warm and enabling" relationships between teachers and pupils that foster respect and calm behaviour.
- The curriculum is "ambitious for all pupils," with reading at its centre; teachers use assessments to match tasks to needs, ensuring pupils "achieve well."
- Phonics is "expertly delivered" by well-trained staff, with books matched to sounds and immediate support for those falling behind.
- Leaders identify pupils needing additional support quickly, ensuring those with special educational needs and/or disabilities "learn the same curriculum as other pupils."
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils enjoying a "wide range of extra learning opportunities," including residential trips and community events.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the newly designed curriculum in some subjects is implemented as planned, as pupils did not always build learning on prior knowledge.
- Leaders should provide guidance and training on assessment strategies in some subjects, as staff are currently unsure if pupils remember what they have been taught.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, underpinned by staff’s "expert knowledge of systems, pupils and their families" and regular training.
