Check the area around this school
120th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.5/10 against 2,919 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 25% | 0.53 |
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 Richmond Primary School
Overview
Richmond Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school provides a well-designed curriculum and a positive environment where pupils are happy, respectful, and achieve well. Leaders, the trust, and governors work in harmony to sustain improvement.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-designed" with content organised logically to build cumulatively, preparing pupils well for future learning.
- Pupils are "happy in school," behave well, and demonstrate respect for others and "fundamental British values."
- Early reading is taught well, with a clear phonics programme and prompt support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, receiving a "right balance of challenge and support."
- The school is "well led and managed," with leaders taking good account of staff workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not clearly identify the most important content, leading to inconsistent pupil recall.
- The school has not fully evaluated the impact of some interventions for pupils with SEND, lacking an "incisive understanding" of their effectiveness.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
