Slimbridge Primary School
Gloucester, GL2 7DD · Gloucestershire · primary school
98th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.0/10 against 3,954 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 167 pupils in a capacity of 160 places, meaning it is over capacity by 7. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How does the curriculum address the gap between the school’s results and the national median?
