Check the area around this school
93rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.6/10 against 2,289 of them, against 1.7/10 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 40% | 0.38 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 George's CofE School
Overview
St George’s CofE School is described as a “warm and friendly school” where staff know pupils well and ensure they feel “safe and happy.” Leaders provide an “ambitious curriculum” that enables pupils to achieve well, with particular success in phonics and early years provision. The report highlights a positive culture where pupils embrace opportunities to contribute, such as through peer mentoring and school council roles.
Strengths
- Phonics teaching is of the “highest priority,” with consistent training and effective checking procedures helping pupils become “confident, fluent readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “identified quickly and supported effectively,” making good progress.
- The early years curriculum is “well designed,” with high-quality indoor and outdoor environments fostering important skills.
- Attendance has “significantly improved” due to clear support actions, including a school minibus service.
- Staff describe themselves as a “family,” valuing the support and workload considerations provided by leaders.
Areas to improve
- Some subjects are “not as well embedded as others,” meaning work is not always well matched to intended learning; the school must ensure equally high quality across all subjects.
- Pupils new to English are not developing understanding as well as they could because there is no “consistent approach” to teaching language meaning; the school needs a clear plan for English language acquisition.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
