165th 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 4,296 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 1.3/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Stukeley Meadows Primary School
Overview
Stukeley Meadows Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a school where pupils are happy, polite, and engaged in a broad curriculum, with particularly strong outcomes in reading. While safeguarding is effective and leadership is supportive, the inspection highlights specific inconsistencies in teaching quality that require attention.
Strengths
- Pupils are enthusiastic about reading, benefiting from an "effective whole-school approach" that has led to "strong outcomes in national tests."
- Behaviour is "typically calm and purposeful," supported by clear rules known as the ‘Four Ls’ and consistent staff interventions.
- The school provides a "broad and interesting curriculum," including immersive history topics and extensive clubs that help pupils develop responsibility and teamwork.
- Needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "identified carefully," with bespoke interventions helping them access the curriculum fully.
- Leaders provide "quality of challenge and support" that supports staff workload and well-being, focusing sharply on key priorities.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not always check the quality of pupils’ writing or provide sufficient support, meaning some pupils do not produce work of the "highest standard they are capable of."
- In a few subjects, the school has not ensured teachers have the necessary subject expertise, resulting in inconsistent teaching and less successful knowledge acquisition.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with adults consistently following up on pupil concerns to keep them safe.
