34th of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 4,035 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 4.3/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Stoke Lodge Primary School
Overview
Stoke Lodge Primary School is described as sitting “at the heart of its local community” where “everyone is welcome.” The report states that the quality of education, behaviour, and personal development are all “Good,” noting that pupils are “proud to be part of school life” and that staff make them feel “genuinely valued.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is “suitably ambitious” and covers a “broad range of subjects,” with pupils typically retaining knowledge well.
- Staff use “judicious use of praise” and resources that help pupils think about “mutual respect and tolerance.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have “fair and equal access to the full curriculum” and are making “steady progress.”
- Leaders have developed pupils’ “oracy skills” and technical vocabulary, helping many gain confidence in speaking and debating.
- Attendance systems are “stringent,” and suspensions are now “rare” following marked improvements in behaviour.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teaching for pupils who speak English as an additional language (EAL) provides “precise support” so they understand context and essential knowledge.
- Staff need to use information about what pupils know more effectively to plan teaching, ensuring lesson sequences do not “miss out important steps.”
- Interactions with children in the early years must be more precise to adequately develop early language skills.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” with staff reporting concerns swiftly and pupils demonstrating a “strong understanding” of safety issues.
