Check the area around this school
71st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.9/10 against 4,023 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 St Anne's CofE Primary School
Overview
St Anne’s CofE Primary School is described as a “warm and welcoming” environment where pupils are happy and staff work together to provide a “nurturing environment.” The inspection found that the school encourages pupils to ‘do everything in love’, resulting in high expectations for achievement and behaviour, with pupils keen to succeed and typically achieving well.
Strengths
- The school has designed a “thoughtful curriculum that is ambitious for what pupils can achieve,” supporting strong starts in the early years through a clear focus on communication and number.
- Reading provision is effective, with trained staff delivering phonics consistently; pupils develop a “love of reading” and receive planned support to keep up with peers.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is “strong,” with clear systems ensuring needs are quickly identified and tasks are adapted for successful learning.
- Behaviour is “calm and orderly,” and strong attendance systems are now in place, meaning pupils “now attend well” after previous issues.
- The personal, social, health and economic programme supports pupils’ wider development, helping them become “responsible citizens of the future” who are respectful of different cultures.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not always check pupils’ understanding systematically, meaning misconceptions are missed and learning is not moved on in a timely way.
- The early writing curriculum lacks consistent expectations for how pupils construct and present work, leading to unchecked spelling and grammatical errors that hamper progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
