Check the area around this school
142nd of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 4,240 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 62% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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 Thrupp School
Overview
Pupils “flourish at this caring and inclusive school” where strong relationships form the “bedrock of the school’s work.” The report highlights a “broad and ambitious” curriculum that pupils enjoy, resulting in good achievement and “exemplary” personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, attend regularly, and feel safe, knowing “trusted adults will support them.”
- The school’s work to promote personal development is “exemplary,” with pupils becoming “self-assured and mature individuals” who celebrate diversity.
- Staff implement the curriculum well, identifying SEND needs early and making “effective adaptations” so these pupils achieve well alongside peers.
- Reading is prioritised successfully; most younger pupils become “fluent readers quickly,” while older pupils develop a “deep understanding” of texts.
- Governors are “well informed” and “committed to its continued success,” supporting leaders effectively.
Areas to improve
- Some pupils’ knowledge of letter formation and spelling is “not as secure as it should be,” which “hampers their progress in becoming fluent writers.”
- The school should ensure pupils get enough practice to develop transcription skills and apply them “consistently well in their writing.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
