100th 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 — 5.1/10 against 1,688 of 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Trumpington Meadows Primary School
Overview
Trumpington Meadows Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy an engaging and informative curriculum. Leaders have designed an ambitious programme that builds knowledge effectively over time, enabling most pupils to achieve well and develop a strong love of reading. The school fosters a supportive community where pupils feel safe, behave well, and benefit from extensive personal development opportunities.
Strengths
- Leaders have created an "ambitious curriculum" with carefully planned progression, ensuring pupils can "remember and use important knowledge in a range of subjects."
- Reading is prioritised from the start, with pupils developing accuracy and understanding through phonics and access to a "wide variety of books."
- Staff accurately identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they can "successfully access the curriculum."
- Personal development is enhanced by "comprehensive" opportunities, including trips, partnerships with local clubs, and meaningful leadership roles for pupils.
- The school is "well led," with governors who "challenge and support effectively" and staff who value collaborative working across the federation.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure that "all barriers to persistent non-attendance are identified" and that systems enable all pupils to attend regularly, as a minority miss out on important learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust recruitment systems, diligent reporting of concerns, and pupils who feel safe and confident that they will be listened to.
