51st 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 — 7.4/10 against 2,562 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 41% | 2.68 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.74 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 26% | 1.57 |
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 Park Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Trumpington Park Primary School enjoy attending and feel supported by “caring adults” who help them meet high standards. The report describes a school with an “established culture of acceptance” where pupils are polite, respectful, and confident in sharing their ideas. Leaders and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to pupils’ development, ensuring that individual needs are met through precise curriculum planning and targeted support.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “clear and established,” with knowledge building in “precise steps” to prepare pupils for the next stage of education.
- Staff provide “targeted and skilled support” for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they are included and have the best chance to succeed.
- Reading is a clear priority, with a phonics programme that gives pupils the skills to read fluently and access a “wide variety of texts.”
- Behaviour is excellent, with “very little disruption to learning” due to clear expectations and swift intervention for any conduct issues.
- Pupils benefit from opportunities to take on responsibilities, such as being “mini-librarians,” and their achievements are celebrated through “golden trumpet” announcements.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that opportunities for pupils to develop responsibilities are accessed by all, not just some, to help every pupil become an “active citizen” who makes a tangible impact.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders monitoring systems regularly and working proactively with external agencies to keep pupils safe.
