Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
9.2/10 Well above average

4th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 the 2,183 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.7/10 among them, against 9.2/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 83.0 · 92 62% 5.65
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 20.0 · 92 38% 3.53

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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0%. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.7 out of 10 among them, against 9.2 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 211 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating over its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the inspection data reflects 2024/25 results, what recent changes have been made to the curriculum to maintain these standards? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?

Your offer chance

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
