21st of 29 primary schools in Blackpool we can score, 30 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 — 1.7/10 against 608 of them, against 1.2/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Revoe Learning Academy
Overview
Revoe Learning Academy is a welcoming primary school where pupils feel happy and supported by “caring and supportive staff.” The report highlights that pupils behave well, work hard, and benefit from a curriculum that prioritises resilience and confidence. While overall effectiveness is rated as Good, the inspection notes that some pupils have not deepened their knowledge as effectively as they could in certain subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are “made to feel welcome” and trust staff to help with worries, fostering a positive school culture.
- The school provides “highly effective systems” to identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they access the same curriculum.
- Phonics teaching is delivered by “well-trained staff,” enabling new arrivals and those learning English as an additional language to progress quickly.
- Behaviour is positive, with learning “rarely interrupted,” and pupils are well-prepared for life in modern Britain through opportunities like trips and clubs.
- Trustees and governors “closely monitor” the school’s operations, focusing on education quality and minimising unnecessary staff workload.
Areas to improve
- In one or two subjects, some learning activities do not successfully build on prior knowledge, preventing some pupils from deepening their understanding.
- Inconsistent checking of pupils’ retained knowledge in certain subjects leaves some with “unidentified gaps” that hinder new learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
