The Rosary Catholic Primary School
Stroud, GL5 4AB · Gloucestershire · primary school
135th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 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 — 4.5/10 against 2,489 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Club, iPad Club, Kids with Bricks, Mindful Moments, Science Club, JuniorNomics, and Chess Club. Sports include Judo, Gymnastics, Dynamos Cricket, and All Stars Cricket. Arts and music features Choir and Arti-Kids, with Forest School trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 166 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 44 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 do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the Forest School trip integrate with the regular curriculum?
