Check the area around this school
28th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.0/10 against 1,740 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 41% | 2.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 26% | 2.22 |
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 Teversham CofE VA Primary School
Overview
Teversham CofE VA Primary School continues to be a good school, maintaining high standards despite pandemic challenges. Pupils feel safe and happy within a strong Christian ethos that promotes respect and tolerance. The quality of education is good, with effective teaching in core subjects and a well-planned early years curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well and feel supported, with a "thorough and supportive" remote learning offer during the pandemic.
- Reading is prioritised through a systematic phonics programme and a "battle of the books" approach to foster a love of reading.
- Mathematics is carefully sequenced, ensuring all pupils develop reasoning and problem-solving skills.
- Behaviour is good, with bullying being "very rare" and dealt with quickly; pupils understand how to report concerns.
- The early years curriculum is "well-thought through," combining targeted activities with free-flow play that encourages perseverance and cooperation.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in subjects other than English and mathematics is not as strong, meaning work does not always match the needs of all pupil groups.
- Leaders should ensure assessment in these wider subjects is used more effectively to tailor teaching to individual pupil needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a culture of vigilance, robust systems, and regular training ensuring adults know how to respond to concerns.
