Warden Hill Primary School
Cheltenham, GL51 3DF · Gloucestershire · primary school
31st of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.2/10 against 4,266 of them, against 8.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.2 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Magical Maths, Football, Dodgeball, Magic Motion - Jam Coding, Science, Chess, and Dance and Drama. They access Sports Camps, learn Drums, Piano, and Singing, and visit Copsegrove Farm or attend a PGL residential. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 415 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 25.0% aiming for the higher standard? How are the 5 remaining places allocated if demand exceeds capacity?
