Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
6.0/10 Broadly average

22nd of 58 primary schools in Milton Keynes we can score, 90 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 — 6.7/10 against 3,892 of them, against 6.5/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 73.0 · 73 40% 2.93
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.
