Check the area around this school
135th 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 — 3.6/10 against 3,348 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Seagrave Village Primary School
Overview
Pupils speak highly of the school, describing a “special, family feel” that makes them feel “safe and secure.” The report highlights a broad curriculum and strong personal development, noting that pupils are “polite and friendly” and achieve well. However, inconsistencies in curriculum planning and assessment mean some pupils lack depth in certain subjects.
Strengths
- Staff are “experts in teaching pupils how to read,” with a “sharp focus” on helping pupils become confident readers through fluent modelling and phonics support.
- The school identifies additional learning needs swiftly, ensuring pupils with SEND access the “same ambitious curriculum” and benefit from “well-matched, individual support.”
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils confidently discussing values like the “Seagrave Steps” and demonstrating “inclusive and welcoming attitudes towards diversity.”
- Attendance is high, as leaders “respond swiftly if any pupil has too much time off,” and staff praise the consideration given to their well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- The school must identify “crucial curriculum content” in all subjects to ensure pupils can “recall it securely over the long term,” as some currently lack sufficient depth of understanding.
- Staff need to check pupils’ learning more closely to identify and resolve misconceptions swiftly, preventing pupils from repeating errors.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
