Ursula Taylor Church of England School
Bedford, MK41 6EG · Bedford · primary school
44th of 50 primary schools in Bedford we can score, 55 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 3,498 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 1.7/10 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 | 35.0 · 5 | 62% | 0.31 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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, 35.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1 out of 10 among them, against 1.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Phoenix Club, Build It Club, Well-Being Club, Brick Club, Lego Therapy, and Zones of Regulation, or interact with Rupert the Therapy Dog. The school does not offer a breakfast club or an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 361 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 59 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the expected standard in core subjects? What provisions are available for children who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary education?
