Check the area around this school
43rd 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 3,159 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8/10 among 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 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in

Worth asking on a visit
With the roll exceeding capacity by 1, how does the school manage class sizes for new entrants? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are used to support pupil progress? How are the music lessons scheduled alongside the core curriculum?
