St Bartholomew's CofE VC Primary School

Stourport-on-Severn, DY13 0EL · Worcestershire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.8/10 Broadly average

79th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 — 3.8/10 against 1,551 of them, against 3.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 57.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Forest School, Change 4 Life, Homework, and Gardening clubs. Sports include gymnastics, dodgeball, football, athletics, netball, tag rugby, and badminton, alongside dance. Trips visit Golf Day, Hartlebury Castle, and Cadbury's World. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 212 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 103 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the morning routine due to the absence of a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to raise the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the current class size impact individual attention compared to the school’s maximum capacity?
