26th of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 6.8/10 against 1,353 of them, against 5.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Westglade Primary School
Overview
Westglade Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are happy, feel safe, and behave extremely well in a calm environment where they concentrate on their work. The school fosters a strong sense of community, with parents describing it as welcoming and staff who know children well.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," helping pupils build knowledge step by step, particularly in reading and mathematics.
- "Learning to read is a top priority," with a consistent phonics programme ensuring most pupils read well and enjoy books.
- Staff have "high expectations" and provide quick support for pupils who fall behind, ensuring they catch up.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, learning alongside friends and taking part in all aspects of school life.
- Behaviour is excellent, with bullying described as rare and pupils knowing how to seek help if upset.
Areas to improve
- The writing curriculum is "not as well considered in some year groups," meaning some pupils do not develop writing skills as strongly as in other subjects.
- Some staff lack the specific expertise to support pupils at the earliest stages of communication, hindering targeted help for key language and interaction skills.
Safeguarding
