Check the area around this school
25th of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 4,049 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.6/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| 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 Wick Church of England Primary School
Overview
Wick Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, described as “welcoming and inclusive” with “harmonious relationships between pupils and staff.” The inspection confirms that pupils are “ready, respectful and safe,” benefiting from an ambitious curriculum and strong support for their personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe, with bullying being rare and adults resolving issues quickly.
- Leaders have designed an “ambitious curriculum” that is well sequenced, particularly in mathematics and early reading.
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to access the same learning as peers.
- There is a “wealth of experiences” supporting pupils’ wider social, cultural and moral development, including leadership roles and sporting achievements.
- Governors and leaders actively support staff well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the most important knowledge pupils need to remember, slowing progress.
- Assessment information in some subjects is not used effectively to check and plan for pupils’ learning, meaning gaps are not always identified.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a “strong culture of safeguarding embedded across the school” and highly effective systems for identifying pupils at risk.
