Severnbanks Primary School
Lydney, GL15 5AU · Gloucestershire · primary school
64th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 5.9/10 against 2,192 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Running 0–5k, Young Voices, Choir, Chess, Multi-skills, Board Games, and Reading. Sports offered are Football and Netball, alongside Dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 247 pupils in a building with 230 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new requests? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
