51st of 104 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 114 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 — 8.8/10 against 816 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Wellesbourne Community Primary School
Overview
Wellesbourne Community Primary School provides an education where pupils achieve well, with disadvantaged pupils typically attaining above national averages. The report highlights a "broad, balanced and well ordered" curriculum and strong leadership that prioritises pupil wellbeing and inclusion. However, the school faces challenges regarding attendance and the precision of teaching in specific areas.
Strengths
- Pupils develop a "secure grasp of the knowledge" in reading, writing, and mathematics, with effective phonics teaching providing a "secure base" for fluency.
- Leaders have designed a "well-ordered" early years curriculum that fosters a love of reading and ensures children are "well prepared for moving up to key stage 1".
- The school employs an "inclusive approach" with effective systems to identify needs, ensuring pupils with SEND "learn well alongside their peers".
- Staff create a caring environment where pupils feel "safe and secure", supported by daily "check-in" routines and a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure their attendance strategy has the "intended impact on raising pupils' levels of attendance" and reducing persistent absences.
- Staff should use checks on learning more precisely to identify and address errors in pupils' written work, particularly in spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
- Leaders should ensure pupils have sufficient opportunities to "practise, apply and deepen their learning, particularly in mathematics".
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
