8th of 17 primary schools in Rutland we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,294 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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) 2024/25 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Ryhall CofE Academy
Overview
Ryhall C of E Academy continues to be a good school, characterised by strong relationships and a culture where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders have invested heavily in developing a positive reading culture and ensuring high expectations for behaviour, resulting in pupils who are resilient and engaged in their learning.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate a strong understanding of core Christian values and feel their "voice is heard and has worth."
- Children get off to a "strong start" in Reception, benefiting from a well-resourced environment and opportunities to "take safe risks."
- The school has developed a robust reading culture with "high-quality texts," and phonics sessions ensure pupils become "confident, fluent readers."
- Mathematics teaching uses "high-quality modelling," helping pupils use mathematical vocabulary with confidence.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported" through detailed resources and external agency engagement.
Areas to improve
- Assessment processes in some foundation subjects are not fully developed; leaders must ensure teachers check precisely what pupils know and remember.
- Pupils’ understanding of fundamental British values is not fully secure; the curriculum must provide opportunities to reflect on their relevance to everyday life.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders creating a "culture of high vigilance" and staff knowing that "it could happen here."
