Check the area around this school
31st 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 — 7.3/10 against 4,174 of them, against 7.7/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Sherrier Church of England Primary School
Overview
Sherrier Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a friendly and harmonious environment where pupils enjoy their learning. Leaders have implemented an ambitious curriculum with high expectations, particularly in reading and mathematics, ensuring children get off to a strong start. However, the report identifies specific inconsistencies in curriculum planning and support for pupils with special educational needs that require attention.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, are mature for their age, and enjoy ‘happy lunchtimes’ and a supportive atmosphere.
- The teaching of reading is effective, with targeted support ensuring pupils who have fallen behind ‘catch up quickly’.
- Mathematics teaching is precise, with staff using resources and questions that ‘make pupils think deeply’.
- Early years provision is strong, with children engaging in exciting activities and working independently.
- Staff receive regular training and support, and parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must prioritise key knowledge in subjects like history and geography to ensure the curriculum builds appropriately on previous learning.
- Teachers need to consistently adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders acting swiftly and tenaciously to support pupils and families.
