Check the area around this school
190th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 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 — 1.0/10 against 639 of them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Warren Hills Community Primary School
Overview
Warren Hills Community Primary School is described as a place where "care for pupils comes first" and there is a "strong sense of community." The report highlights that pupils are kind, behave well, and feel safe, with staff and governors being "ambitious that the school will continue to improve."
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well balanced," with knowledge carefully sequenced so pupils can build on previous learning.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective, with one parent describing the provision as "life-changing."
- Reading is a priority, with a new phonics programme making a difference to the speed at which pupils acquire new sounds.
- Attendance has improved due to leaders working "tirelessly to communicate to parents and carers the importance of their children attending school."
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with a "well-established culture of safeguarding" and staff who report concerns without delay.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all staff have the training needed to become "experts in the teaching of phonics," as some are not yet confident in delivery.
- Leaders and governors must use monitoring information to identify priorities for further curriculum development, as monitoring activities are currently at an "early stage."
- Systems should be developed for foundation subjects so staff can assess how well pupils learn and retain intended learning, as assessment use in these areas is "still developing."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that staff know how to spot signs of risk and report concerns without delay.
